I applied through college or university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at CARFAX
Interview
I submitted my resume through our university's career fair. I was contacted through email for technical test on hacker rank. The test was pretty easy. After clearing it I was to go to Columbia for interview. I interviewed there with two teams. The people were very nice there and culture was very good. Both the interviews were fairly technical although the interviewers were very cool so didn't feel like I was giving any kind of interview.
They provide feedbacks which might be useful .Regarding the interview procedure, I think in some cases they jump into conclusion and make decisions base on those which might not be the real case.
