      Data Product Associate Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at YipitData

      Interview

      I applied in Apr 2019 for New York positions. Heard back after about 2 weeks after application. The whole process took 2 weeks. The projects they gave are time consuming.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      1. Simple data analysis question 2. Invited to an onsite info session. This session took 1 hour besides commute. This info session is really time consuming and unnecessary for onsite. I guess the only reason they do so is to save time and budget for the HR people. They asked all candidates to join so they only needed to do it once rather than explaining their company multiple times. 3. A more complicated data analysis assignment to be finished in 1 week. No specific requirements but was told to tell interesting stories found in the assignment. Got rejected after submission and was told "my estimate is not accurate enough". So they were expecting a certain result but gave no clue in advance. There are certain other companies offering the similar positions and assign take-home projects. Yipitdata is among the worst as others tell you what they expect in your analysis.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at YipitData (New York, NY) in May 2018

      Interview

      Overall, it was a very negative interview experience. 1st round is a short data set assignment after online application. 2nd round is with HR discussing your background, achievement, and feedback from current/previous managers. 3rd round is a data challenge which you have to complete within 7 days. The data challenge is pretty complicated and took significant amount of time to complete. After you submit the report, there are 3 rounds of follow up/bonus questions, each one takes a good amount of time to complete. 4th round is an onsite interview, meeting VP of product, a research analyst, 2 engineers, and the founder. Mostly behavior questions, and a small case. The whole interview experience shows that the company doesn't have a basic respect for the interviewees. For example, one of my interviewers had chewing gum in this month during the onsite interview. And when I found out that I didn't get the job, I asked the HR to approach the hiring manager for feedback on the onsite interviews, so I can learn and apply it to my future interviews. But I got a very generic response (something like 'we think other candidates are better fit for the role'), which I was surprised, since the candidates put a great amount of time and effort into the interview process, but they weren't willing to spend 5-10min sharing feedback for the candidates. I have never had situation like this before with any other companies I interviewed. It looks like 'no interview feedback' was at least mentioned by 3 interviewees on Glassdoor from 2016 to 2018, and HR commented in 2017 that they were working on improving this. But so far by the time I interviewed no real improvement was made. Furthermore, the interviewers presented themselves to be very arrogant. There were a lot of frowning when I answered the questions, and they appeared to be very impatient when I was a little bit stuck at the case question. And for the behavioral questions part, they were more reading off from their checklist, instead of getting to know you and about your experience. Another thing I found weird about their work culture was when someone made a mistake, they Venmo money to the party that was affected with the message 'sorry my mistake made you spend more time working on XXX'. I understand they wanted to acknowledge mistake but the transferring money part I found very weird. Lastly, they advertised themselves having a culture focusing on impact, but when I asked them about in what ways they measure the impact, they couldn't give me a clear answer but instead was saying that that was the challenges they were facing. So think twice before you begin the interview process and make sure you are interested in what they do and the culture of the company.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      - Tell me about a time that you made a mistake, how did you solve it, and what did you learn from it? - Give me an example of you having a conflict with a coworker.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at YipitData in May 2019

      Interview

      The interview process is rigorous, but it gives you a great idea of what your actual work will look and feel like. If you don't enjoy the assignments, you won't enjoy the work. There are two take home assignments followed by a day of three or four live interviews if you do well on the assignments. The first assignment is a quick screening tool, but still requires some thought and attention. The second assignment is complex and and probably the most important part of the interview process. It takes a good deal of time to complete, but it is a great representation of the work you will actually be doing on the job. If you hate the assignment, or find it tedious or boring, you won't like the job. (As a side note, I see another review complaining about "gross" vs "net" billings. Companies often have their own definitions for financial metrics, which you can look up very easily in their financial filings. A certain company defines gross billings as "gross amounts...net of estimated refunds.") In the live interviews, you go over the take-home assignment in one and then the others are typically standard behavioral interviews. There's nothing tricky in the live interviews, but they're important.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at YipitData in Mar 2019

      Interview

      Submitted my resume online and heard back shortly after. First round was a short data assignment you need to complete in two days. I made a mistake but was able to correct it after asking for feedbacks. They were kind enough to give me a second chance to move forward. So don't give up! Second round was a 30-min call with the HR coordinator about my resume and background. Third round was a group info session where the VP of product talked about the company and the DPA role. If you're in NYC you will be invited to the office; otherwise you will join via Zoom. Fourth round was a much more complicated assignment and is also the most important part of the interview process. I needed to finish a report and send it back in a week. Took a lot of my time. After I sent in my report, there were 2 rounds of follow-up questions, each took about a week. Final round was an onsite interview with 4 people - 1 engineer, 1 research analyst, the VP of product and one of the cofounders. Mostly behavioral and background questions. Worked through a small case with the VP. Overall it was one of the best interview experiences I've had. They were very responsive and I got a good sense of what the job entails.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The long assignment is complicated and time-consuming. Make sure you spend enough time on it to think it through and ask clarifying questions whenever necessary.
