J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Quantcast (Austin, TX)
Entretien
Contacted by a recruiter located in Dublin. Had a very pleasant phone screen. I was given a test to complete and send it back to the recruiter. Test was mainly to test your analytical skills, math skills and SQL knowledge. Then had another phone interview with potential manager.
I was invited to an on-site interview with 5 team members, took about 3 hours. Everyone was incredibly friendly and intellectual. I thought I nailed it but I was rejected. Reason being my background wasn't exactly what their looking for.

J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Quantcast (New York, NY) en oct. 2016
Entretien
I was contacted by their recruiting dept and did a 30 minute phone call where I specifically stated that I did not have the set of technical skills they sought. I repeated that to the hiring manager in a second 30 minute phone call and got the feeling from both that it's ok to have a different background. I took a skills test and I proceeded to a set of 4 back to back 30 minute interviews, some via video, one in person. That was exhausting and the analysts that interviewed me seem to want to see that I have the technical background. I understand that since they do the work. Guess what I was turned down from this position for? Lacking the technical skills needed. Overall, the company was very professional and they seem like they're a great bunch to work with but I wish they took the requirements more seriously so that I didn't need to go through all those interviews only to be told something I already know.
