      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Acumen

      Interview

      Phone Screen Interview The first round was a phone screening conducted by a recruiter. This conversation focused on my background, relevant experience, and understanding of the role. In-Person Interview The second round was an in-person interview with the hiring manager and potentially a team member. This round went deeper into my technical expertise and practical experience. I was asked to walk through specific projects, explain my decision-making process, and demonstrate how I approach real-world challenges.

      Walk through specific projects from the past experience.
      Answer question
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Acumen

      Interview

      I submitted my materials online after seeing their advertisement on my college job board. Within a week, I was contacted for a phone interview the week after. After the phone interview, within a week I was contacted for an in-person interview at the headquarters in Burlingame. The in-person interview was scheduled for the subsequent week and consisted of four 30 minute interviews. The questions were in-depth about the work I have done and how I work in teams followed by a discussion of the work that the interviewers performed. A week after my in-person interview I was given an offer.
