I applied through university. I interviewed at Criteo (Grenoble) in Oct 2020
Interview
The interview process was well structured and went smoothly. I was able to first interact with Criteo on my school's Forum (and I'm glad I got the chance to). Later on, we had a phone call interview where I was able to share my motivation and at the same time I learnt many interesting technical information about the work there. After that, I had to pass an online technical test (regarding JavaScript on codingame). Finally, I had a 1h30 session with two lead developers in Criteo for a problem solving exercise and other questions about my past experiences as an intern and my interests as an intern seeking knowledge and improvements.

Some other more technical questions on codingame, and a problem to solve on Coderpad.
