I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Criteo (Palo Alto, CA) in Nov 2016
Interview
I was contacted by a Senior Technical Recruiter. An initial phone screen to compare notes and to establish credentials occurred. The notes from the phone screen were made available to the hiring managers who overnight decided not to proceed further. This Senior Technical recruiter was classy enough to call me back the very next day and explain the reasons why the team decided so.
Given that most companies and their representative do not have the courtesy of explaining the rejection of an employment application, the fact that this company representative actually called to rejection explain their decision stood out. A very classy approach. If this style reflects the company culture, I am certainly impressed.

Question 1
Business case around a project management situation
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Criteo (Paris) in Jul 2019
Interview
Un recruteur me contacte via Linkedin et me présente le job par échange de mail. Le poste m'intéresse, et nous convenons alors d'un entretien téléphonique qui dure environ 30 minutes pour me présenter l'organisation de la boite, le poste plus en détail, et pour me présenter.
A l'issue, un entretien skype avec un program manager est programmé : il dure 1h pile et consiste à se présenter en anglais, expliquer ce qu'on a compris du business model de Critéo, et à répondre à quelques mises en situation ("comment réagissez-vous si telle situation se présente ?"). L'entretien est professionel mais pas particulièrement cordial. A l'issue, on m'indique en détail là où ça a fonctionné et là où je n'ai pas convaincu, ce qui est intéressant. On me fait remarquer un problème de "culture fit", manière polie de dire que je suis sans doute un vieux gars !
Au final, j'ai apprécié la présence constante du recruteur, qui accompagne le processus.
