I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Casper (New York, NY)
Interview
Contacted by recruiter, who gave me initial screen. Next phone interview with Hiring Manager. Heard within an hour I'd been invited to the final in-person round. Asked a variety of very specific questions about statistics, programming, business and the classic startup question about my vision. It seemed they wanted a candidate that doesn't really exist (strong technical skills, heavy stats background and solid business acumen) and were not willing to compromise on anything.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What's your vision? What does p-value represent in statistics? Which Python packages do you use?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Casper in Aug 2017
Interview
I was referred via a current employee and had a phone screen with a recruiter. This call covered the basics of my experiences as well as technical skills (coding languages, etc.). Then I completed a take-home data assignment with some sample data and business questions to answer. This was not a difficult assignment and mostly involved data exploration.
After sending back the assignment, the recruiter reached out to me to schedule a phone interview with an analytics team member that week, I responded promptly but didn't hear back that week. I followed up the following week and didn't hear back until over a month later. When I finally got a response, it was a form e-mail to enter my availability for a different position than what I had started my interview for. I did not continue the interview process since I was pursuing other opportunities.

Question 1
What coding languages are you most comfortable with?
Submitted resume and was contacted about a week and a half later for phone interview. After phone interview I was scheduled to go into the office to meet with members of the team. I met with about 5 team members who couldn't of been more welcoming and friendly. The entire interview process was organized, welcoming, and structured. Probably the most seamless and enjoyable interview process I've ever had.
