I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Quantcast (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2015
Interview
I had to solve written test and then a phone screen. The written test and phone screen was extremely tough. You should be good at everything SQL, Statistics, Advertising Domain knowledge, linear programming, machine learning etc. I was able to clear the written test but the phone screen was extremely tough. I was asked about some difficult machine learning and statistics concept which I had never heard of. If you are a data scientist this position is for you but if you are analyst or just a programmer it is difficult to clear.
Recruiters are really helpful and gives you a feedback time to time.
