I applied online. I interviewed at The Trade Desk in Jan 2022
Interview
The recruiting process was good until the final onsite interview. HR was extremely reliable and followed through the entire way. The same can't be said about the actual interview...
Interviewers were unprofessional and didn't introduce themselves. Was told to prepare for a systems design interview and instead, they asked me some unclear library-based question which no-one could prepare for. Clarifying questions that I asked were not replied to or were done so in a way that left me even more confused. Total waste of time - would've declined the offer even if it was made. I haven't experienced too many technical interviews but this took the cake for the worst.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at The Trade Desk in Apr 2026
Interview
CodeSignal OA (Proctored, two easy-med LC problems) ->
Brief Behavioral (Simple discussion with recruiter, was told i was moving to next round during the call) ->
Technical first round (Writing a very simple class while talking to an interviewer) ->
Technical Superday (2 med-hard LC problems. Each have 3 parts that build on eachother. two 60 minute interviews back to back with ~15 min break inbetween).
Both technicals were on CodeSignal. All questions I were asked had to do with strings/arrays for the most part. After the Final Round, they ghosted me and I never heard back.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at The Trade Desk (Bengaluru) in Sep 2025
Interview
The process included an online assessment, then an HR round, then a screening coding round of 30 minutes, and a super day, which had back-to-back 1 hour interviews. It was very smooth and the HR constantly updated candidates about their status. There was clear communication.
