I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Mu Sigma (Santa Barbara, CA) in Nov 2014
Interview
3 person interview. Order varied per person. First person gave me an email on paper with a situation. You had to write down notes and questions on the subject as if you are about to go into a meeting in 10 min. Second person gave me a 'puzzle'. Didn't appear that they were looking for a specific answer but more about your thinking process. You were allowed paper and pencil but you are required to state your thoughts. Last, person asked normal interview questions.

Question 1
If you had to create bags to store money, how would you do it to use the least amount of bags?
The interview was pretty straightforward. It consisted of 3 rounds. The first round was to fill out a questionnaire describing how you would tackle on certain business cases. The second round was a recorded video interview in which you a specific business case was given to you and had to think on the fly to answer it. The third was a video interview with the recruiter where again they ask you behavioral and business case questions.
I interviewed for Mu Sigma in January 2020. The entire process took about 3 weeks. You first complete an online test that has 3 sections. The first section is taking a video of yourself answering various questions, then there is a multiple choice section and a case study. After passing the online test, they set up a video interview. Then there was an HR interview a few days later. The HR interview was when they extended the offer.
