      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Quantcast (Seattle, WA)

      Interview

      Summary - I was targeted and courted by their recruiting team. I was rejected because I don't have the "background/experience they are looking for". I wouldn't recommend this company to my friends because of my interview experience there. The initial recruiting process was pretty well thought-out: I was invited to a big event with dozens of people. A while later, without me following up, I was asked to attend a smaller event with fewer prospects. The recruiters are nice, efficient and professional. I have nothing but admiration for them. After the second event, there wasn't a phone screen, just an invitation to onsite. On that day, I thought everything went really well until I was interviewed by a manager in their SF office. I was given an "open question" where there is no "bad answers". It turns out that was a large project that the manager worked on in a previous job. And it was anything but "open": every assumption, alternative I put on the table was quickly dismissed. Among the few left standing, one was meant for me to prove it wrong myself. I have been given those types of questions before but never felt so entrapped. I don't think the interviewer meant it. Nonetheless, I'd say, if you don't want to work with someone, day in and day out, who has superiority complex, do not accept their invitation.

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Quantcast (San Francisco, CA) in May 2013

      Interview

      Their interview process is pretty bad. I had a phone interview with a hiring manager, then coding test, after that I received a mail saying they would like to bring me onsite. They sent me documentation for reimbursement expense. Then I flew to SF, and the interview questions on that day was quite easy, at the end of the day the recruiter asked me my current salary. The following week, I got the declined result, the recruiter told me every interviewer said you are great. So I guess my salary is out of their range for the position. Then I submitted my expense in SF. However, it's already 50 days, I still have not receive their check!!!!! THIS IS SO WEIRD.
