      Software Engineer Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Criteo (Bordeaux, Nouvelle-Aquitaine) in Dec 2022

      Interview

      I had a phone call with HR, followed by two coding exams. Subsequently, I had a meeting with the engineering manager and later met with a team lead. Throughout these interactions, everything went well, and I was informed by HR that they were in the process of preparing an offer for me. However, despite their initial assurance, I never received any further communication from them. I made multiple attempts to reach out to HR, but on each occasion, I was informed that they were still in the process of preparing the offer. I must acknowledge that during the exams, the staff was genuinely supportive and friendly. Despite these positive experiences, I find myself dissatisfied as I never received a clear explanation for not receiving the offer. It seems that the company's actions do not align with the value they advertise for their employees.

      Question 1

      The coding exams themselves were relatively straightforward, drawing from LeetCode problems of medium difficulty.
