Strata Decision Technology Analyst Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process was pretty simple, mostly about personality and how I work with people and tackle problems. There was a technical assessment, but the interviews felt more like conversations. Everyone was really positive and it felt like a team effort, very welcoming.

It was a decent experience. There were 4 rounds with various people from the department and company. I talked to the recruiter first, then the manager, followed by two principals, and finally the director. The rounds weren't too tough and involved either behavioral questions or some technical ones.

I had a phone screen with the HR recruiter, then another one with a team lead the next day. The following week was an in-person interview, split into 3 parts: a written test with a SQL challenge and a critical thinking 'brain-teaser', and two face-to-face sessions with two different managers. The SQL part was unexpected because it asked me to design a schema, which wasn't in the job description or my resume. They asked conceptual questions, and when I asked for clarification, they just repeated the same conceptual questions. One manager did most of the talking, and the other seemed uninterested. The management team lacked diversity (all men, 3 white). Based on other interviews, it seems they might have already chosen someone, so it felt like my skills weren't what they needed. A positive was their quick responses (1-2 days) at each stage.
