I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at The Trade Desk (Boulder, CO) in Sep 2024
Interview
Very reasonable interview process. More focused on understanding your thought process than super hard algo questions. “System design” round was actually just an OOP round. Interviewers were all very professional.

Leet code medium, but with 3 levels of increasing difficulty. Everyone was lovely, and the technical rounds were collaborative.

I applied online. I interviewed at The Trade Desk (Singapore)
Interview
Very smooth and responsive. The process was very transparent and moved really fast. Interviewers were really friendly and it was more like a discussion than an interview. Very good experience overrall
