J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. J'ai passé un entretien chez Acumen (Los Angeles, CA) en oct. 2020
Entretien
- After you submit your application and if you get to the next round, recruiters will ask you to submit coding sample and resume. If you pass that, recruiters will send you a coding test.
- 1st round interview: after your coding test, you would have a 30 min call with someone to discuss the coding test. The whole process is very relaxing and really nothing to worry about.
-2nd round: The 2nd round is supposed to be an "on-site" interview. But due to covid, they will ask you do a zoom interview. The whole process takes around 3 hours. I did not like my final interview because I felt the interviewers were not listening. They always liked to ask about data source, which was perhaps the most boring question that you could possibly expect about your data science project.
I have heard people waited for 5 MONTHS to get their results. I waited for three weeks and accepted another offer.
Fun fact: I received a rejection letter two weeks after my final interview. Two minutes after my rejection letter, I got an email saying "Please disregard the last email. We are still moving forward with you In-Person Interview." I completely lost interest in Acumen after this interesting experience.

Question 1
- what's your favorite data science project
- what's your data source
- why you are interested in this position
Very quick chat with HR, then had two one-on-ones with mid-level programmers from two different projects.
Three meetings were planned, but on the day I was told due to schedule changes, one couldn’t make it, and I didn’t end up meeting the names listed for the other meetings either.
From initial application to receiving offer was about 5 months.

The interview process was three rounds, quite easy, including written test for data analysis, phone interview with an analyst, and then three back-to-back interviews with the current employees. These interviews each lasted 30 minutes.

The whole process was great. I also communicated well with the interviewer. The first round of interviews was to discuss the findings from the dataset. You need to be familiar with knowing every step while you are writing this test.
