I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Dataminr in Sep 2015
Interview
The process started with a brief conversation with a recruiter. This was mostly a discussion about my experiences and information about the position and company. This was followed by a technical phone screen with an engineer. The interviewer and recruiter were patient and helpful. Overall, this was a pretty good experience even though I didn't perform very well on the technical phone screen.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked general resume questions and a relatively simple algorithms coding exercise.

Interview
Recruiter seemed a bit rushed/reading from script, asked about some very specific things from work experience (not in resume, seemed like they were looking for key words for me to mention). At time of interview the company seemed to be in a hurry to hire. Interviewer was friendly and engaged in the interview - LeetCode/many edge cases type question.
Initial phone screening followed by 1 hour technical screening consisting of leetcode style problems. Next step is 3 rounds consisting of 2 more coding rounds and a behavioral round with the hiring manager. Overall pretty standard interview process but poor communication from the recruiter. After the final round I was completely ghosted, reached out to recruiter multiple times to get no response.
