The internal recruiter reached out to me through LinkedIn, wanting to fill a TAM position. Very little information about the actual day to day activities of the role was provided. During the initial phone screen, a lot of buzz-words were used, but it was obvious the recruiter either did not know what he was talking about or simply did not care. Next steps were put in place at the end of the screening including a Google Hangout with someone in the US, which never happened. When chasing the recruiter after a few weeks of no communication, I received a response asking for my CV, which I had provided straight after the phone screening. I was also interviewing with a different company at the time, who was more responsive and offered me a more advanced role, and hence did not pursue this slow and cumbersome interview process further.

It was pretty straight-forward: Phone Screen, 1:1 remote interview, On-Site Panel Interview. Had a great interview with the entire team. Wrote over 500 words on the Analysis/Performance Questions. The hiring manager and recruiter says that it is fine to write over in the test. I went to an in-person interview and it went well with the AM, TAM in Chicago office, TAM in New York office, and the hiring manager. The hiring manager loved me so much that he walked me around the office. The recruiter contacted me and wanted my feedback. I told the recruiter that it was a wonderful experience ... until being told that I didn't get the job due to me writing over 500 words on the Analysis/Performance Questions. I was disappointed. They could have told me that I'm no longer a candidate due to that reason before being called for an on-site interview. The feedback was okay that I was a good fit for the Quantcast culture. However, they feel that I'm not qualified for the TAM role. The recruiter wanted me to apply for a position that I feel over-qualified afterwards. I turned that opportunity down. If you are going to apply for an opportunity at Quantcast, if you don't answer the question as described and they say it's okay, don't waste your time on the next phase of the interview process as they'll use that reason as an excuse to why you are no longer a candidate.
