I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Quantcast (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2010
Interview
This was an initial phone screen to discuss what Quantcast was all about and what my personal interests were. There were some basic conceptual questions and questions about my previous work experience. They were going to setup a follow-up technical phone screen with me but later emailed me with one of those auto-generated emails saying that after considering other candidates, they didn't think I was suitable for the position they were trying to fill. A little shocking to me since they hadn't even gone through the technical phone screen with me, and they were the ones who contacted me via LinkedIn after seeing my resume. Strange.
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.
