Networked Insights Analyst Interview Questions
& Process

I had the worst interview ever here over a year ago, the director had no clue what his analysts were doing and asked quantitative-focused, nonsensical questions, so I left. Fast forward to a few months ago, I applied again because they let that director go. It was a complete 180 experience. The process was super fast, I applied, got a phonescreen, and was interviewed and accepted within two weeks. They were super speedy with replies, clearly needing help. I made it clear my experience in social listening, while not identical, was very applicable. The interview process involved one round focusing on skills, another on culture fit, and others on practical problem-solving. Overall, it was a very good experience.

Got an email about an Associate Analyst role, so I set up a phone interview. I tried calling at the scheduled time, but no one picked up. Their voicemail said they respond faster to emails, so I emailed to confirm. Within seconds, I got an email back asking to reschedule for later that day, which I couldn't do. We rescheduled for the next day at the same time, and they called. The phone interview was pretty basic: 'tell me about yourself' and 'are you willing to relocate?' After that, I was sent a link to a multiple-choice and written test. The multiple-choice part covered things like compound interest, figuring out the best place to buy widgets based on price and quantity, and time zone conversions. The written part just asked why I wanted to work there.

It was annoying how much back and forth it took to set up an interview time with the recruiters, especially for a role that's 'always hiring.' They first had me submit a writing sample and complete a 30-minute quiz as a pre-screening, instead of having a real conversation themselves. After a lot of follow-up emails, I finally got an interview where I talked to 7 different people. It moved pretty fast, but I feel like they could have made the process much shorter. One interviewer was definitely harder than the others; if you say you're doing data analysis, be ready to show your math skills. He'll put you through some crazy hypothetical situations and try to confuse you with his complicated math if you don't answer right away, testing how you handle pressure with moderate to complex math problems. Everyone else was pretty nice, though. The recruiter mentioned I might have to do a presentation later, but I decided to stop the process there. After talking to people for over six hours, it's unbelievable that they still don't have a good sense of my presentation skills. The office felt a bit small and dated; I noticed it was the same space the previous company used, which is funny because a rapidly growing company like this doesn't seem to update anything.
