I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Quantcast (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2013
Interview
The whole interview process went very smoothly. I was referred by a friend already at the company. After the phone interview, I had a coding challenge, which I think is a cool (and more realistic) aspect of the Quantcast interview process that other companies don't have. After a successful coding challenge, I scheduled my on-site interview. The recruiters were very responsive, and worked around my hectic college schedule. At one point, there was a miscommunication and a recruiter schedules a flight a day early. After e-mailing her, she quickly rescheduled without any problems. They also put me up in a sweet hotel, which I managed to check into early before my interviews (to catch a quick nap)
The actual interviews were challenging, but all very fair. The interviewers were friendly, and definitely provided me with a good impression of Quantcast. A few days after my on-site, my recruiter called me, and said he would extend the offer, after a background check and an easy negotiation period, I was extended an offer!

Other Software Engineer Interview Reviews for Quantcast
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.
