Interviewed Jan 2011 (took 2 weeks)
Submitted a resume via email. I heard back within a week asking for a phone interview. Phone interview went smoothly and I was invited for an in person. Receptionist was nice but they were late starting and I ended up waiting in the lobby for awhile. Everyone was dressed VERY casually (jeans, t-shirts) and I felt out of place in a suit. I was showed around the office; everyone works in cubicles and seem very busy. There was much talk about how they are growing so quickly and are basically "taking over every floor in the building." There were small kitchens with free drinks and coffee available.
I was taken to a little room and met with 4 people back-to-back one-on-one. Each one either asked me to analyze a graph or talk through a different case study. Overall it was a typical consultant style interview. Everyone was nice but rather distant in a "I'm too busy to be doing this" sort of way. I was also turned off by how they kept saying they "only hire smart people" (verbatim) and that comScore is a place only "smart people belong, like Google (wtf?!)" They also raved about how everyone gets their own laptop, the casual dress code, and free drinks. Quite frankly, it seems like they were trying desperately to think of good reasons to work for their company. When I asked about hours/week, one of the interviewers answered that "the work i so fun, it's basically like play" which sounded like a generous way of saying there is no work-life balance.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
I heard back within a week with a lowball offer. I rejected it since I already had a bad taste in my mouth after waiting 45 minutes in the lobby for the interview. Other reasons I turned down the offer: Their obsession with "smart" people was strange - given I understand everyone wants the most intelligent folks in their company, the fact that each interviewer kept bringing it up every 10 minutes was odd. It made comScore sound like a repository of rejects from Silicon Valley. Lack of professionalism in dress and manner was also unimpressive.
Ended up taking a position at another consulting firm that focused the importance of hard work and work-life balance; this company also straightforwardly offered a good 401k, a decent salary, and excellent PTO for volunteering/education. It was refreshing not to have hear HR ramble about free drinks and casual dress codes to sweeten a mediocre deal. What consulting company doesn't offer those things nowadays anyway?
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Skills Test.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Reston, VA (took a day)
Absolutely bizarre. I spoke with five people and still have no idea what this company does or what my job would have been. Nobody seemed to have any passion for their jobs. Lots of strange IT types lumped into the awkward interview and lunch with a senior manager. Reston is a bland corner of suburban Washington. I'd say more, but I'm just confused.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took a day)
The first step was an on campus interview with an HR rep. The interview was extremely casual and relaxed. This first interview consisted of only behavioral questions, just asking me things to get to know my experiences in my past jobs and through school courses, specifically looking at experience in data analysis. Next was the on-site interview at the office. interviewed with 3 different people. Everyone was very nice and professional, but this interview was more case-based instead of solely behavioral

Interviewed Oct 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
I applied online through On-Campus Recruiting for this position. I met with my interviewer for 30 minutes and it was evident that this was a very preliminary screening interview. She asked me all kinds of questions about by hobbies and past irrelevant experience. This interview was completely fit oriented about whether I would be an interesting member of her team to talk to while traveling with. I specifically asked at the end of the interview if she would like to know more about my skills and relevant experience to which she replied. I can see from your resume that you have the relevant skills, but I'm more interested in what it would be like to work with you on a day to day basis.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
I received an interview through my career services at school. I had a good impression of ComScore coming into the interview but my interviewer was very unfriendly. She acted as if she didn't want to be there. She just stared at me which made the interview a very awkward situation.

The interview process was very pleasant. The interviewers not only ask me questions about my skills and experience, but also allowed me to ask any questions that I had in order to be well informed about the opportunity and company.

Interviewed Dec 2010 (took 4 weeks)
Everything about them was urgent "can you do tomorrow 9am?"; "can you come back this afternoon?"; etc.
But then lots of gaps in communication in between. Just got the impression when they want something then it’s a priority but feedback and information to the candidate was not.
Spoke to a number of people as I just was not convinced they are better than ‘ok’ – in web analytics software Omniture, Coremetrics and WebTrends (their competition) give a far better impression to a candidate does that transfer to clients too?
I’m sure it’s ok but I was left just a little cold. Remember, interviewing is a 2 way street.
