Business Data Analyst
It started with a quick chat with the recruiter. Then, there was a take-home task where I had to do some data analysis and come up with business insights. After that, I interviewed with a Team Lead. The next step was another interview with a different Team Lead and the Head of Product Analytics. They mentioned there might be one more interview with the VP Data. The whole thing wrapped up with an HR interview.
- What is it about the game that appeals to you?
- What aspects of the game do you think could be enhanced?
- Given graphs detailing user counts, spin frequencies, and dates, what user behaviors can be inferred, and subsequently, what SQL query would you write to calculate the daily average of total spins per user?
Business Data Analyst
It started with an HR phone call, followed by a ~2 hour take-home exam. Then, there were two technical interviews and an HR interview. After that, they checked references. They were super nice and welcoming throughout the whole process, showing interest in me and letting me speak my mind during interviews. They even gave me the option to take short breaks if I needed to sort out other recruitment processes. The whole recruitment was fast and organized, and they were really responsive and considerate.
- Regarding a specific business problem presented, what data would you gather?
- Could you explain your approach to analyzing the suggested data, including the types of graphs you would create?
- If presented with a mock graph of the data, how would you interpret its findings?
Data Analyst
I already passed the first stage which was a 1.5 hour take-home assignment involving SQL and graph analysis. The second interview was on-site with two team leads. One team lead, a man, was friendly and asked about me. The other team lead, a woman, asked for my thoughts on what makes a good analyst. She seemed to have a bad vibe throughout the interview. She then went through my entire work history, probing why I left previous jobs and if I was fired, which felt very unpleasant and hostile. The second part of this round involved technical questions on probabilities (from my first university course) and graph analysis.
- Can you define what a good analyst is?
- What are your thoughts on probabilities, cubes, and graphs analysis?
