I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Trade Desk (Sacramento Valley) in Mar 2022
Interview
6 round interview. Please don't bother, especially if you're a college graduate. I will be fair, the 6 people I interviewed with was nice. However, they all just asked the same questions in these separate 1 hour interviews.
I'm not necessarily mad about the rejection. But the fact they dragged it out to 6 interviews (when it could have been 1 seeing they all asked the same questions) is what made me want to pause job hunting. This one (or 6) really knocked me down.
Edit: This was an entry level position. So you can see why I'm frustrated about the interview process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself,
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
The typical ones...
Scheduled for an interview by the HR, but HR did not turn up or respond to emails. It seems like HR in APAC ghosts people a lot, based on the comments here.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at The Trade Desk (New York, NY) in Sept 2024
Interview
The interview process was fairly standard. The recruiter asked me a bunch of questions and we chatted about my goals, salary expectations and the role.
Everything was great, but it took them 1 month to get back to me to get scheduled with the hiring manager. In between that 1 month, I followed up with them 2 weeks after our initial chat and I was ghosted.

Question 1
Can you tell me more about your background and how it applies to this role?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at The Trade Desk in Oct 2022
Interview
I applied online with a referral then a recruiter contacted me for a phone call. 30 min meeting with the hiring manager, 30 min meeting with the department director, take-home test, presentation of take-home test to a panel The response time between rounds is slow. It took about 3 months to get to the final round. Take-home test takes an average of 4 hours to complete and requires a lot of adtech knowledge as well as market research

Question 1
Basic experience questions More adtech-specific questions in the presentation round
