I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Dataminr (New York, NY) in May 2015
Interview
First round HR phone screening, second round high level phone interview with a data scientist in the team. Third round, worked on a weekend project. Fourth round. Invited for onsite interview. A presentation of the project, followed by four rounds of interviews. Got turned down few days later. CS background would be a better fit. Generally very pleasant interviews. All team members are extremely nice and the works they are doing are super cool.
