I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Acumen (Burlingame, CA) in Feb 2019
Interview
The entire process lasted 3-4 months.
1st round: about 1 month after I submitted my application, they asked for unofficial transcripts and a coding sample.
2nd round: immediately after that, I received a data analysis practice.
3rd round: after turning in the exercise, I went over the exercise with a full-time Acumen analyst by phone.
4th round: Onsite interview at the Acumen main office in Burlingame, CA. The HR was professional and managed the process well. First a breeze-over math/logic test, then got grilled by 3 teams of two, one team leader and one analyst each.
The result didn't came until over 2 months after the onsite interview.
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We review every application that comes in, so we apologize if there was a delay once you applied. There shouldn't have been a 2 month delay after your in-person interview. I hope you reached out to us in the meantime.

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.
