I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Acumen (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2015
Interview
After the application submission, first a quantitative test, and then a phone screen to talk about the test. Then I was flown in for on-site interviews, which consisted of another basic reasoning test and talks with people from all over the company. They were all great and interesting people, was good to meet them.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Acumen
Interview
I submitted application online, and got invitation to a statistical test. Once passed, you will receive phone interview followed by on-site interview. I went to Acumen's office, talked to 7 people. Most of the conversation is about past research experience and some basic statistical modeling questions. They also shared what projects they are working on at Acumen. The on-site interview includes a numeric/logical test. They also took me to a neighborhood restaurant for lunch.

Discuss the statistical test
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Acumen (Burlingame, CA) in Nov 2015
Interview
After I submitted the cover letter, resume, transcript and sample code, I got a case analysis test by answering three questions based on a excel data. Then followed by a phone interview about resume screening. I'm going to the on-site this coming Thursday. At most 200$ reimbursement for traveling and housing. I really like the HRs there. They response super fast. I got the phone interview chance couple of hours after I submitted the case analysis, and I got the on-site opportunity 30 mins after the phone interview.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Where did you heard about Acumen? Please guid me go through an analytical project you have done including the model and any quantitative methods you used.
I asked him what did he think about my case analysis. Because I spent a lot of time preparing any potential questions he might ask before the interview. But he ended up asking nothing about that. He said it was pretty good. That's it.
