      Director Interview

      Aug 11, 2019
      Anonymous employee
      Singapore
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at The Trade Desk (Singapore) in Oct 2018

      Interview

      Quick, open, challenging, gave me confidence they had a good idea what type of person they thought they needed for the role. I also felt the process gave me a chance to set expectations of what I was likely to be able to deliver.

      Mumbai
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at The Trade Desk (Mumbai) in Apr 2025

      Interview

      Thorough process followed. Talent Advisor Screening , Talent Director for culture match, Business Lead, Account Lead, Sales Lead, Revenue Lead all had different rounds with different agenda. The context was also different for each one so it seemed like a well created path. Plus the use of an interview process platform gave a good visibility into progress and stages

      Answer question

      Question 2

      Director Interview

      May 2, 2024
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at The Trade Desk

      Interview

      I was referred to the position so this was the only way I even got through the door. I had a great interview with the recruiter, and an even better interview (at least I thought based on the many words of affirmation, and praise for my background) with the hiring manager. I was told by both the recruiter and the hiring manager that this was early on in the process, and that I would hear back the following week (I was interviewed on a Thursday). The next day, around mid-day, I received the 'no-reply' email indicating that I will not be moving forward. It was disappointing, and very much felt like I was only interviewed as a courtesy for being referred. Zero compassion from the company with false expectations set from the beginning.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Recruiter asked basic information about my background, interest in the role, and which projects I'm most proud of.

      Director Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at The Trade Desk in Feb 2024

      Interview

      Recruiters GHOST you! Typical phone screen. Overall fine conversation, seemed like a good person but went dark. Somewhat standard terms (were a big family, entrepreneurial, etc.). Not that hard but pretty standard. Don’t be shocked to never hear back - have heard the same from several others. Suspect they were just trying to get intel on other companies.
