The interview process was a bit long and slightly disorganized but ultimately learned a lot from everyone and was very happy I get to meet so many people to get a good grasp of what my responsibilities would be and who exactly I would be working with.

The process started with an interview with the VP of Sales. He is an incredible guy and very easy to talk to. It was an open conversation about what I was hoping to gain in my career, what was exciting about Teads, and some questions about my experience. Second round I met with the Group Manager for the team I would be joining, very conversational, getting to know me, asking about my experience and getting to know me. Third round was a two-step... I met with the CEO Jim before I did a mock pitch. Jim is a great guy and truly wants to know each person that is being hired into the organization. He had pointed questions (very behavioral), and genuinely wanted to understand me and my career up until the interview itself. The mock pitch was pretty broad -- pitch an existing client or new client a new business line... Either upselling them or bringing something new to the table. The CEO, VP of Sales, and Group Director are all on the pitch and asking questions throughout the pitch, trying to throw you off as if they are a media company/agency. They are trying to simulate an actual pitch to an agency or brand, and really want to see how you react and stay on course. I got an offer, but eventually declined for a different offer. It was a fantastic experience and really appreciated all of the efforts from interviewers to the HR and recruiting team.
