I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Quantcast (Seattle, WA) in Apr 2017
Interview
First of all I want to mention that Quantcast has the one of the best recruiters and my experience with 2 of them has been nothing but awesome! They help the candidates a lot with a lot of good feedback and tips.
Recruiter first contacted me via LinkedIn, setup a phone screen which went well. One coding question was based on arrays and sorting. Another question was based on permutations and recursion. Then they called me onsite a week later. The onsite interview was one of the tougher ones. 3 coding interviews and 1 system design. 3/4 onsite interviews also had behavioral questions. Signed an NDA so cannot say the questions, but it was much more than just data structures and algorithms.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
NDA: Phone Screen had regular data structure and algorithm questions, but onsite was much more difficult.
Interview went with 7 interviews but got rejection because one person say no, all other says yes therefore I am confused that majority is saying and it is not about the technical part.
Take home assignment and follow up on the take home. Easy take home and easy follow up. Expect to explain your thought process and extend the take home assignment with another engineer.
Interview Screening - Talked to a hiring manager in a video call talked about the company, my experience, salary expectations, the next interview would have been a technical interview, and then a live coding interview.
