The Regional APAC recruiter had poor time management before the interview and negative attitude during the interview. The recruiter showed no facial expression in the interview and appeared unhappy when I asked standard company info at the end of the short interview.
Maybe the recruiter had a bad day. Still there's no reason a recruiter (as the brand ambassador of the company ) should treat a candidate like this.
I would not recommend this to others as the recruiter might just not listen to the candidate(s) at all.
I've met many different recruiters in different companies. This is one of the very few that I call it bad experience.
phone screen, manager interview, then two more 45 min interviews with colleagues and a in person presentation. it was a lot of behavioral questions and some hypotheticals, especially in person so be ready to answer hard questions on the spot. everyone was very friendly and personable.
Thorough and professional experience. Starts with a standard phone screening with HR to get to know you on the surface. Continues to escalate from there to more in-depth interviews. Very standard, no negative experiences.

Question 1
What experiences led you to look into working with us
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at The Trade Desk (Hong Kong) in Jul 2025
Interview
The interview process is long, 6 rounds for 2 months, and the final round is a case study presentation. The TA is really friendly and helpful, and is willing to share the interviewer's feedback and comments.
All the interviewers are also nice and happy to know more about your experience, so I can feel free to share my learnings and insights about their questions.
The whole interview process and arrangement are smooth.
