I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Acumen in July 2013
Interview
After submitting online, I was contacted about a week later for a writing test. After I submitted the writing test, I was contacted about a week and a half later for a phone interview. The phone interview was only 2 questions. I was contacted a week later saying I didn't get it.
The staff seemed a little unprofessional to me. The person who interviewed me seemed like he didn't look at my resume or writing test. Initially I was told that I would be speaking with someone other than who I actually did speak with. If the job market were better this would have deterred me from Acumen.

Why Acumen?
What is your research experience?
I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Acumen in June 2012
Interview
I was contacted by the recruiter about four days after applying. She gave me the name of the person who will contact me for initial phone interview. That person never contacted me, it was someone else. This came off as highly unprofessional to me. Additionally, they had asked me to write a report on a data set, which was very time consuming. It was not a problem, but the interviewer did not ask a single question about my analysis of the data set. Over all, I was very disappointed by the process, by the people and by the outcome.
