J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Upstart (San Carlos, CA) en juin 2019
Entretien
Pretty standard with HR screen, phone screen, take home test, and then onsite interview. Process took 3-4 weeks total.
The biggest negative was meeting with one of the co-founders in the onsite interview. I was told he was very intelligent and analytical since he came up with the first model for the product (which I don't disagree with) but does that give permission to constantly interrupt you when you're talking. An interview is a two way street where both employer and candidate is evaluating each other. And then when I finished the interview, there was no Recruiter to walk me out. I had to leave conf room to go find someone.
Seems like product has a lot of potential and future. It was hard for me to even consider recommending someone given my experience, and since the Bay Area is highly competitive with people leaving for the next thing consistently, I would have expected more.

3 rounds, first is lead, then some peers, then hr. Totally very difficulty, since they hope candicator can work for them, no need to train. So if you are a graduate, that's not good place for you, and also very hard to get offer or their company.

Entretien
HR phone interview, where the HR rep was super nice and dug relatively deep into my experience and previous work.
1st round interview with Sr. Research Scientist was just alright. Interviewer showed up 5 mins late (sure if happens, no biggie) and gave a very speedy intro of the company. I gave an intro of my experience. Just 1 question on my experience and moved into coding. While coding it was a bit odd the interviewer kept wanting me to change x or y about the code or how I was solving it before I could finish completely. This threw me off a bit, as every other place I've interviewed they let you finish and then follow up if you could do x or y to improve performance, etc. Fairly straight forward stats and A/B to finish.
