I applied through university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Acumen (Washington, DC) in Feb 2020
Interview
Process took about 3 months. Initially completed a data exercise, then a phone interview to go over the data exercise. After, I was called in for an in-person interview that took about 3 hours. Interview consisted of a written assessment (logic) followed by 3 rounds of interviewing conducted asking about my resume, behavioral questions and general interest.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review and share your feedback.
Application
I interviewed at Acumen
Interview
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.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Acumen (Burlingame, CA)

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.
