Le processus a pris 2 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Civis Analytics en oct. 2016
Entretien
There was a fairly straightforward 45 minute initial interview, followed by a 48 hour take home examination, and then what was supposed to be a final round of 3 interviews via Google Hangouts. However, after not responding for 3 weeks, I emailed them to ask when I would hear back only to find out that they wanted to do a 5th interview.
In addition to being fairly disorganized, I think 5 interviews with a total of 9 people on top of a take home examination were a lot to ask for just for a summer internship.
Round 1 - HR Screening
Round 2 - Python or R programming take-home assessment
Round 3 - Interview with Hiring Manager
I was told I would not be moving forward because "For a level II role, we are seeking an individual with fairly extensive python and SQL experience."
It is bizarre considering SQL experience is a plus, the salary compensation ($80-90K total) seems low for a level II role in Chicago, and a peer of mine had NO SQL nor Python experience and was able to get employed.
I think I dodged a bullet with this company.

Submitted an application and then heard back within a few days. Several rounds of initial interviews (phone for screening purpose), followed by a take home test, and finally an online on-site interview that took about 4 hours. Quick response after the interviews took place.

Such a weird interview. I was barely given any time to speak since the interviewer talked almost the entire time. Kept mentioning how they didn't understand technical stuff, which makes you wonder, why were they interviewing data scientists?
I'm fine not getting an offer, since there were lots of red flags: repeated emphasis on high pressure, long hours, bro-ey attitude, lots of talking about the founder. Like I said, I was barely given room to speak at all.
