Senior Data Analyst Interview Questions

2,903 senior data analyst interview questions shared by candidates

First interview was pretty behavioral: What would you research at Rockstar if data weren't an issue? What's a time when you had to do XYZ or deal with ABC? What potential issues do you see with telemetry data? Final round was a mix of walking through your resume, projects, and case study type questions. You are about to launch an online AAA game, what KPIs are you following? One year after launch, what KPIs are you following? How would you increase monetization on your newly launched AAA game in a targeted way? What segment of the population do you target, how do you measure the success? There was a random question where the interviewer asked me to pull up a code editor - let's say there's a wheel in the casino that players can spin and the top prize happens 5% of the time; write a function that returns the likelihood of the player winning given some number of tries. How would you determine the impact of something like an Amazon Prime partnership on the user base? If we're launching some new content, what metrics would you want to collect that we're not already tracking? How would you conduct an AB test and how would you get buy-in from stakeholders and explain the results to them and why they're important?

Take home assignment is really the only thing they seem to care about, which is just a horrible way to screen candidates. You're just only allowing folks who have the ability to spend many hours on the project, who dont have family, illness, or learning disabilities that would prevent them from being able to complete the assignment in "three hours". Unfortunate decision on their part to structure the interview process this way.
