I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Quantcast (San Francisco, CA) in Sep 2012
Interview
1) HR reached out discussing interests and potential team matches.
2) Coding test which was time bound but could be solved anytime which was suitable to me.
3) Onsite (4 tech + 1 HR interview). Had lunch with two employees, one of them was an alumni from my univ.
They decided very quickly within 1 working day.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
None that I can remember. They gave particular interest on my Machine Learning knowledge which was different than other standard tech interviews.
Interview went with 7 interviews but got rejection because one person say no, all other says yes therefore I am confused that majority is saying and it is not about the technical part.
Take home assignment and follow up on the take home. Easy take home and easy follow up. Expect to explain your thought process and extend the take home assignment with another engineer.
Interview Screening - Talked to a hiring manager in a video call talked about the company, my experience, salary expectations, the next interview would have been a technical interview, and then a live coding interview.
