I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Dataminr (New York, NY)
Interview
Shortly after applying, I was reached by a recruiter for a phone screen. Few days later, had a technical phone interview with one of the managers, who was hard to hear and sounded disinterested. After that, there was a timed online test asking you to categorize and summarize tweets, which I didn't fully finish in time since it was a such a strange assignment that I was unprepared for. A week later I was called to interview in person with four managers back-to-back. Two interviewers were nice and sociable, the other two were kinda unpleasant and standoffish. The workplace looked like a high-tech sweatshop, with people staring at a bunch of screens. After a week of silence, I finally inquired about the outcome and was told they picked a better fit. The recruiter was very nice throughout.

Interview
Had a first interview which went really well, then had a test which went great too, then had an interview with a Senior Director and the interview went really well and I had all the skills required but I was rejected. I was very confused and asked for feedback but never received any. Impossible to get in touch with anyone and the only person who would assist referred me to the HR person who never answered my request. Would recommend that the company and the people they hire put more effort into answering emails and providing a way to communicate with the people who interviewed you.

Interview
Did so many interviews (5 in total) as well as a quiz. It was an extremely lengthy process and there must not have been any communication between the different interview panels as they asked the same questions each time. It became very repetitive and draining.
