I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Criteo
Interview
There was one phone screen and onsite had 4 rounds - 2 technical, 1 system design and 1 behavioral. The onsite interview was scheduled in 2 weeks. This was during December 2018.
HR screening and then some coding rounds with your lc questions, the questions weren't the hardest ones but I wasn't really prepared as for myself. Interviewers are overall fairly nice but it can vary, I notably had a bit more trouble with an interviewer whose english wasn't very good. But process itself was ok.
The process included 1 HR screening, 2 live coding interviews testing algorithms and problem-solving. They are classic leetcode questions. Then 1 system design interview and 1 final review with behavioral questions
