I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Criteo (Barcelona) in Jun 2015
Interview
The process took 2+ weeks and overall it was positive experience, the recruiters very helpful and friendly. First round was a phone interview with one of the recruiter who asked general questions about your current role and what i knew about Criteo. It was followed by a 20 min online test. with different questions about metrics. For the test you will need to study well all the CPC, CPM, A/B testing and incremental revenue. After the test another phone interview with one of the manager who asked more questions about my experience in account management. I didn't continue to the last stage.

Question 1
After the training what will be the first thing you will do in the account strategist role? How do you prioritise customer with urgent matter to solve? What Criteo does? How do you handle unhappy clients?
Todo se desarrollo normal hasta la entrevista final con un business case study. Me quedé sin noticia y sin feedback despues... Los recursos humanos tienen que tener respeto por el tiempo y trabajo que un candidato dedica para un proceso.
Started with HR and the moves to Managers. Both teams were very competent and the process was smooth. It lasted around 3 weeks the questions were relevant and the timing was correct. Enough time to prepare and good feedbacks received after each interview round. I eventually accepted the offer.

Question 1
Started with HR and finished with the case study presentation
It was a 4 round process; screen call, 1st interview with the hiring manager, panel interview with their team, and lastly a mock presentation in front of the hiring manager and 2 other managers. Wasted a month of time going all the way through for a rejection. Quickly came to see after that many people in this position do not look like me; they are mainly white and even more so, white women. Think its pretty obvious why I didn't get the role. Unless you're applying to this company for anything outside client facing stuff, you probably won't be hired if you are a POC.
