I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Kensho Technologies
Interview
1 online assessment coding question following with 3 rounds VO coding. answer on hackerrank sharing tool, and interviewer can see the result and help with debugging. The VO questions are a combination of data structure and OOD design for each round.

Question 1
They designed the questions themselves and the interviewers are pretty nice guiding you through the interview. I feel good going all the way through the final and was told will be informed with the result soon and get feedback on phone call. But until quite a few days later, only one rejection email come into my mailbox without any feedback and then the recruiter just disappeared and never replied. I got quite a few better offers so I don't really care about the result, but just feel not respected as I have spent so much time interviewing this company and they are not even willing to share the feedback.
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Kensho Technologies
Interview
Great interviewers. They asked about the resume and coding questions. There are three rounds: the first round is an online assessment, the second round consists of one interview, and the final round includes three interviews back to back. The recruiter follows up quickly.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Kensho Technologies in Nov 2019
Interview
The process took about a week. I did an online assessment via HackerRank and after a few days, I received an invitation to set up a phone interview, which was technical for the most parts but also covered some behavioral and project questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Standard DS & A questions for the coding assessment. For the phone interview, I was given two functions that were not well defined, then asked to implement a "data structure or anything" to make the functions work. I was allowed to write in any language, so I chose Java. However, the interviewer did not know Java very well so I had to set up the classes and main functions myself. I talked through my thoughts and managed to run the codes but the question was rather confusing and not properly set up and the interviewer was not entirely helpful or clear about what they wanted me to do.
