Media.net Product Analyst Interview Questions
& Process

It started first with my introduction. The interviewer was extremely rude and condescending from the very beginning. Next, was a guesstimate case study. After that, the interviewer asked an SQL question, and finally they ended with a puzzle at the end. Overall, the interviewer ruined the experience because of his way of speaking and tone. Extremely condescending and unprofessional. It also puts a bad light to the work culture there, if such people are taking interviews.

It was a 4-round elimination process. First was SQL and Guesstimate, which were easy and relevant. Second was with a PM about a scenario where metrics were dipping and how I'd deep dive; this was analytics-focused and went well, medium difficulty. Third was with a senior person, asking more PM-oriented, open-ended questions about building products/features, not very relevant to analytics. Fourth round had two panelists; one asked easy SQL, the other asked adtech arithmetic questions (not real analytics work but analytics thinking) and a case study. The interviewer kept saying 'no, think something else' for the case study, which made it long, and maybe that's why I was rejected. I followed up with HR many times for feedback after so many rounds and long interviews, but never heard back. Feedback would be helpful.

The interview process focused on core subjects like OOP, DBMS, DSA, and Computer Networks, involving coding questions and problem-solving to test technical proficiency. Candidates also had to discuss a given topic to assess communication, leadership, critical thinking, and teamwork, seeing how effectively you express ideas, respect others' opinions, and contribute meaningfully. It also evaluated attitude, personality, company fit, and decision-making, with questions on situational judgment, career goals, strengths, weaknesses, and project experience to assess overall potential and mindset. Another round evaluated attitude, personality, company fit, and decision-making, with questions on situational judgment, career goals, strengths, weaknesses, and project experience to assess overall potential and mindset.
