I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Factual (Los Angeles, CA) in Jun 2019
Interview
One of the worst interview experience ever. Very loose questions and very poor communication. The interviewer was clearly not prepared and late for the interview. Worst of all, judgmental and grossly exaggerated negative feedback from HR even when not asked.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Factual in Jun 2018
Interview
While it didn't result in an offer, I had a good experience interviewing. I had an initial phone screener with HR, a take home assessment around json files, and a technical screener. This involved live coding (python) using a shared document. The coding tasks were relatively simple, though coding in front of someone else is always stressful. I also got asked several order of magnitude questions.
