First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Statista.
Data Analyst
The interview process started with an HR call to discuss my background and reasons for applying, and they also gave me info about the job and company. Then, I had a 1.5-hour video call with two Team Leaders where we talked about my background, how I tackle analysis tasks, and how I handle project management and conflicts. The next step was an in-person interview at their Hamburg office. This involved a presentation based on a case study I got 1.5 weeks before, and a coding test where I could use Excel, R, or Python. The task was pretty straightforward using Excel, but I had to do it live with my screen shared. Lastly, there was a 30-minute video call with another team leader, though I'm not sure if this counted as a formal round. Overall, the process felt pretty straightforward and transparent.

- Have you worked with rankings before?
- How do you handle receiving negative feedback?
Business Development Manager
Had an initial chat with the recruiter about my current job and if I'd be a good fit for Statista (like a hunter mindset). Then, I talked with my direct manager, and the questions were pretty similar to the recruiter's. Next, I met with the Group Director or Head of Sales, and we talked about growth. Finally, I did a case study presentation with my direct manager and the Group Director or Head of Sales. This involved using the platform and explaining how I'd close a customer even with limited info.
- What's your strategy when a client needs data but has a tight budget?
- How would you go about closing a deal if you only have limited information about the customer on the platform?
Data Researcher
Got an email invitation for a video conference with HR. Learned about the job details and company culture. Had a second video call with the Team Leader to go over my background and motivations more, and understand daily tasks. Finally, attended a hybrid meeting at the office with the team lead and his boss. We chatted, and I did some computer tasks related to the job. Got feedback within days. All communication was clear, efficient, and on time.
- What are your job expectations?
- Do you feel this role will offer sufficient responsibilities?
Sales Representative
First call on Teams: it was especially important why you want to work as an SR. Especially motivation and long-term interest in the position seemed to be the focus. Even though it was officially an entry-level position, there seemed to be less interest in a person who might want to develop elsewhere in the long term. After the conversation, I never heard from the company again / received no rejection or acceptance. Accordingly, I fundamentally rate the conversation as normally difficult, but negative due to the ghosting.
