I had a first round phone screen with HR before being cut. My interviewer was very friendly, but I could tell they were looking for something specific. My impression is that they think of themselves as the "Google" of AdTech. Very selective, very protective of their culture. If you didn't go to a great school or possess some kind of wow factor, you're probably best off applying elsewhere.

Question 1
What is a tool you had to learn, how did you go about doing so?
Multiple stages; first with HR, then with hiring manager and subsequently with members of the team. HR was excellent and provided a good overview of the process, the structure of the teams and their roles and what to expect during the interview.

Question 1
The questions were mostly to see if you were a good fit for the team. A lot of situation-based questions on how you would react to certain situations.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at The Trade Desk (Los Angeles, CA) in Jun 2022
Interview
Very efficient process, recruiter updated me regularly on my application which was very helpful. 4 rounds, first was a call with the recruiter, second was a video interview with the Lead Director, third was a presentation and last round was a final interview.
