I applied online. I interviewed at Criteo (Palo Alto, CA) in Feb 2019
Interview
First applied online. After a few days I was first contacted by a recruiter, who asked me to answer some screening questions. Then, I had a first and second round interview via Skype Interviews (video + interactive code editor). They don't fly interns out for an on-site interview in Palo Alto.
