Digitas Data Analyst Interview Questions
& Process

After I applied with an employee referral, a recruiter from Digitas contacted me for a phone screen. They asked basic questions about my background, interest in digital marketing, and salary expectations. Then, I had to set up a second phone screen with an Associate Director in Data and Analysis. This step might not be standard, but I was traveling abroad, and they wanted to assess my fit before proceeding to an in-person interview. This call included slightly more technical questions, but it was generally straightforward. Finally, I went in for an in-person interview, which consisted of four 30-minute sessions: one extended case study, two behavioral interviews, and one brief case study.

My process with DigitasLBi was long but, in the end, a very positive experience. I started with a recruiter call and was eligible to be interviewed by two accounts. One team wanted to move forward and I then had a phone interview with the VP of the team. That phone call was great and felt like a casual conversation that enabled me to share my approach to analytics work. From there, I interviewed in person with 4 DigitasLBi staff members. 2 were from the team I'd be on and 2 worked on different accounts ranging from the Manager to VP level. Every staff member was great and positive. They had a wide range of backgrounds (some started as Analysts and worked their way up, some came to DigitasLBi later in their careers, etc.) and were able to speak to all of my questions. From there, I was informed a week later that I had received a verbal offer, but would need to wait a week to receive a written offer. I had an extremely rare case where approvals took longer than expected to happen, so I waited nearly 5 weeks to receive the formal written offer. Throughout this challenging and frustrating process, the HR representative still maintained weekly phone contact with me, which was greatly appreciated. The VP of the team also called me to apologize for the long delay. The overall experience was so positive that I felt confident enough to turn down 3 other job offers throughout the waiting process. It was a long time coming, but I think it will be worth the wait. Note - a lot of other interviews mention marketing sizing questions and case studies. I did not receive either during my interview but was well prepared in case they came my way.

I had a basic behavioral interview over skype, but it included some reasoning questions that were a bit case-like. There were three interviewers, each for 30 minutes, and they all seemed genuinely interested in getting to know me and having a conversation.
