I applied online. I interviewed at Datatron (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2017

Standard start up hiring process. 2 technical phone screens and then on onsite interview. The phone screens were coding challenges similar to what you would see on hackerrank or leetcode. If you can answer the medium difficulty questions on leetcode you should be fine.
The onsite consisted of 2 data science questions and 1 whiteboarding question. The data science questions were about how you think through a problem.
