Criteo Intelligence Analyst Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process seemed to be going well, with basic HR interview questions being asked. At the end of the interview, the interviewer mentioned they would contact me for the next steps, but they never did. I followed up two weeks later for an update but received no reply. It was quite disappointing and felt more like a mock interview to train their Talent Acquisition Specialists.

My interview process started with online tests covering basic concepts like CTR and CPC, which were pretty straightforward if you know the basics and can find the answers on Glassdoor. After that, I was invited for an on-site written test. Oddly, this was for a Product Manager role, and none of my contacts knew about it. I had one hour for two website design questions: one for a home insurance form and another for an equity trading platform. It was just a pen and paper, with no specific instructions on format or detail. The HR called over a week later, saying I wasn't suitable for the PM job but they'd consider me for a BI role. The interview for that went okay, with questions about my current role and technical aspects like CPC and CTR. After two weeks of silence, I contacted HR. They said my profile was interesting and the interview went well, but they decided not to move forward. When I asked why, the HR said my answers weren't 'business oriented enough' and didn't elaborate. I emailed for more details but got no response. I'm really disappointed; the whole thing took over two months, which was an issue as I needed a quick process. I had to chase HR for a callback, and the final reason given didn't really align with the interview questions. Given my background and preparation, and the fact they hire a lot from my school, this outcome is frustrating, especially from a company with their reputation. I wouldn't recommend applying.

First, I had an HR phone call for about 30 minutes. Then, I had an online analytics test where I had to solve calculus problems related to common business metrics like CPC and conversion rate. After that, there was an interview with the manager for 30 minutes and another interview with a BI analyst for an hour. Next, I had to do a case study where I was given some questions and an Excel dataset, and I had to present my findings in a PowerPoint. Finally, I had a last interview with the manager's boss, who is a director.
