I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Acumen (Burlingame, CA) in Jan 2017
Interview
For the onsite interview: First a probability and logic test then 3-5 interviewers will ask you some questions about your projects and some basic statistical questions. Most questions are related with what they actually do at work including how to preprocess data, how to deal with a raw dataset, how to choose an appropriate model etc.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review, thank you.
Application
I interviewed at Acumen
Interview
Very quick chat with HR, then had two one-on-ones with mid-level programmers from two different projects.
Three meetings were planned, but on the day I was told due to schedule changes, one couldn’t make it, and I didn’t end up meeting the names listed for the other meetings either.
From initial application to receiving offer was about 5 months.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Acumen (Burlingame, CA)
Interview
The interview process was three rounds, quite easy, including written test for data analysis, phone interview with an analyst, and then three back-to-back interviews with the current employees. These interviews each lasted 30 minutes.

The whole process was great. I also communicated well with the interviewer. The first round of interviews was to discuss the findings from the dataset. You need to be familiar with knowing every step while you are writing this test.
