I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at 6sense (San Francisco, CA) in Sept 2015
Interview
Phone then Takehome assignment then onsite. Met with founders, software engineers and data scientist person. The process is pretty rigorous and requires a strong coding background.
Details: Takehome exam with very messy data that had very high cardinality. Even the hold out set may have categories that your train set has not seen yet. A lot of observation of the data is necessary. After that, you go on site and get 3 software coding interviews. Pretty heavy duty coding questions. E.g. find all possible ways to evaluate the multiplication of 4 numbers in a N by N matrix. Also, map reduce and deep recursion problem.

I'm based in Singapore and was supposed to have my first round interview with some HR in India. Yet he never replied to any question/email I sent at all, nor to the available timeslot proposed.
Totally unprofessional.

Interview
Recruiter reached out for an exploratory call twice but never called. Would have been nice to at least know if the position was filled. I don’t appreciate setting time aside during a busy work day only to be ghosted twice.
