I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Acumen (Burlingame, CA) in Feb 2021
Interview
The final round took one and a half hours after finishing a one-hour logic test. The interviewers were very nice and the questions were really straightforward. I would say the whole interview process was smooth and HRs were very helpful!

Starts with the initial application on the job board like LinkedIn, Glassdoor, etc. Then, there was a take home data exercise. After that, they schedule a 30 min phone call to discuss your findings in the data exercise. The final step is a 3.5-4 hour interview where you take a logic test the first hour and interview 3 other people in the team.
