I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at The Trade Desk in Jun 2025
Interview
Standard phone screen, and I proceeded to the next round. The following technical round consisted of solving a problem that you'd rarely encounter in a real world application.
If you memorize answers to common interview questions, you'll probably do fine. At the end, the interviewer insisted it was "basic" even though I struggled since I do not have much experience (or interest) in solving interview-style questions that aren't pragmatic nor relevant to the actual role.
Additionally, there were several times in the interview where it felt like they wanted me to read their minds in regards to implementation. Overall, it was not exactly a hard problem, but it was a really poor method of testing someone on their experience and knowledge.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at The Trade Desk in Sept 2025
Interview
Online Assessment, followed by a Hiring Manager interview that was System Design + Behavioral. Didn't pass that stage, was not given a reason, but I assume it was the system design portion. Next stage would have been a loop (2 coding + 1 system design).
I interviewed at The Trade Desk (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
- recruiter
- hiring manager chat about exp
- coding screen

Overall pretty standard interview and good experience hence why i joined. interviews were collaborative and practical rather than obscure algorithms
