I applied online and had a basic phone interview. The recruiter was very helpful. She sent me a test to gauge my knowledge of online advertising metrics. Next step included an in-person interview with a few members of the team. It was pretty informal but again basic in terms of interview. The next phase was where I realized this was not a good fit for me or my career. I was asked to come in and present data in a way that I would present to a client. There was a larger group that included team directors. Mind you, I probably have more experience than everyone in the room, but immediately felt the “mean girl” attitudes from a couple of the pretentious “directors”. I knew from the first handshake (before my presentation even began) that I was not going to get an offer and if by a miracle I did, I would not accept it. A couple of weeks later, I got a phone call with an offer but I had already accepted a much better opportunity outside of account management. Upon declining, the recruiter seemed very offended and began to give me feedback on my presentation. I listened to the unwarranted criticism and thanked her for the opportunity. Until then, the recruiter had honestly been the highlight of the process. Overall, I didn’t have a positive experience and it effected a sales call Criteo made to me. A little advice to the employees: don’t burn bridges with candidates because you never know where you may run into them again.
