First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Moloco.
Senior Customer Engineer
I was contacted directly by the recruiter. The interview process involved five rounds over eight weeks, including a recruiter screen, a meeting with the hiring manager, a three-person panel (covering technical, business, and cross-functional aspects), and a final discussion with the department head. I received positive feedback after each stage and no issues were raised until the rejection. The recruiter missed their own deadline for a decision and was late for the rescheduled call. The reasons given were not speaking French and 'handling ambiguity.' The ambiguity point is subjective. The French language point is questionable as it was listed as 'beneficial' in the job description, and I clearly stated I don't speak French from the initial call and to multiple interviewers, yet it was only flagged as a deciding factor after the final interview. This feels like a screening question, not something to discover over five rounds. The interviewers were competent and pleasant to interact with, but the overall process was disorganized. If requirements aren't clear upfront, it's browsing, not hiring, and senior candidates have limited time. Management should define needs before engaging candidates. If a language is essential, it should be stated upfront and screened for early. Respect candidates' time, and ensure the recruitment team meets deadlines for a better final impression.

Growth Analyst
The interview process for this Growth Analyst position, which is part of a new grad cohort, started with a helpful recruiter who was responsive via email. The first step was a phone call with standard behavioral questions. Then, there was a second interview with the hiring manager focusing on my experience, fit, and interest in the company's mission. The final stage was an on-site case study with senior team members. It involved an Excel data table and business strategy, requiring attention to detail, and wasn't overly difficult. Although I didn't get an offer, the recruiter provided useful feedback over the phone. It was an exciting role.

- Why are you interested in our company's mission?
Sales Manager
The interview process was pretty organized and ran smoothly. The only issue I had was that midway through, they changed the role to a position two levels lower than what I initially applied for, and then they ended up rejecting me because of a skill I had already mentioned I didn't possess from the start. I was really hoping to join the company because I think their product is great and all, but this whole experience has left me feeling a bit angry and disappointed.
- Could you start by telling me a bit about yourself?
- Have you had experience managing performance specifically for apps?
- Would you consider an individual contributor role that involves senior-level campaign management?
Product Manager
A recruiter reached out and set up a phone screen. The first interview was with the hiring manager. After that, I had back-to-back interviews with four people: an engineer, two from the product team, and one from the business side. I was told that was it. They said all feedback was positive and enough for an offer, but the hiring manager wanted to interview others. About a month later, I was asked to interview with the CPO. Then, the hiring manager still wanted to talk to more candidates, so I had to wait. I figured it was a no at that point. Still no word back. The whole process was really frustrating. After six rounds, just tell me yes or no. No need to drag it out. I heard they do this often, so be warned!
