J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez The Trade Desk en mars 2024
Entretien
Terrible.
Asked to correct an awful caching solution.
When I replaced it completely with my own, and told the interviewer what I thought about their code - that was it.
Do know that if the interviewer sees you are better than them, they won't allow you in.
In order to get in this company you must be not too stupid, but also more stupid than the people who interview you.
Probably complete waste of your time for a significant period of your life.
My advice: Avoid TTD
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
To correct awful code implementation of caching. Don't tell them it is awful (as I did) because they wrote it ...
60 mins - Algorithm questions. it was generally leetcode med level algorithm questions and they asked 2 questions. They were kind of rushing the interview and didn't seem like they cared about the interview.

I applied for a SDE position in Sydney AU. Online accessed + recruiter call + 4 rounds onsite rounds. The recruiter was super efficient and professional, some interviewers were very professional and friendly, however, the hiring manager had astonishingly bad manners, he gave an ambiguous and topic and didn’t collaborate or specify what aspects to focus on, as I continued to seek clarification, he became visibly frustrated and started yelling. Would recommend the company to improve the mental maturity of this hiring manager from HK before allowing him to become an interviewer again. The hiring manager's terrible manner explains why the same job has been posted again and again on Linkedin but never been filled over the last 2 months.
