      SEM Data Analyst Interview

      Apr 29, 2014
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Austin, TX
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Indeed (Austin, TX) in Mar 2014

      Interview

      I was contacted by a recruiter via email for one of two potential positions. Scheduled a Google Hangout interview for later that week. Questions were relatively straight forward (behavioral mostly, but slight allusions to Python knowledge in particular) and basically went over my resume asking about past projects. Following the interviews, Indeed narrowed me down for the second position and had me onsite the following week. There were 5 back-to-back half hour interviews that were technical in nature, and they had me writing SQL, R and other pseudo-code on the board for 3 of those 5. Overall I think I did relatively well. Hit all the code questions spot on. We got the point of negotiating salaries, and as I have a MS degree in analytics I mentioned what I considered to be a relatively conservative number. They countered with about half of that (a salary lower than most entry level BA-educated positions) and ultimately I believe this may have been what precluded me, as there was no way we could have bridged that dichotomy. The cherry on the cake was the curtain of silence that went up after the interview. Generally if you come for an onsite interview, companies will have the courtesy to at least follow up with a "Thank you for your time... blah blah... we regret to inform you..." but after about two weeks I reached out and the recruiter said "sorry, we thought we emailed you. we won't be continuing."

      Question 1

      Indeed loves to ask Bayesian brain teasers, and both times they tripped me up a bit but I ultimately got the answer. Just make sure to justify your logic at each step and they will tell you if you are on the right path.
