Overall, the road was long but everyone was extremely kind and transparent throughout. The reviews on this page are very representative of the interview process and also very helpful - I would definitely read through them if you as a candidate are nervous or curious about the process. The steps after the initial application were as follows: 1. Short screening assignment 2. A one hour video information session that you can watch on your own time 3. A week long assignment analyzing a larger dataset in Excel. While there are particular questions to answer, it was self-directed and I found it to be an opportunity to be creative with the data. There were also a series of follow up questions over email, so be able to justify to yourself why you made the decisions you did. 4. An HR-type interview just getting to know you and walking through your resume. At this stage you also provide three references. 5. A series of interviews covering a range of topics including a short review of your assignment and some thought exercises/informal case studies. As mentioned above, everyone was helpful and welcoming throughout the interview process. It was clear from the start what was coming next; there was never an unexpected step, which I really appreciate. I was given many opportunities to ask questions and learn about YipitData's culture. The only thing to note is that the interviews come after the assignments, so there is a lot of work to put in before you get a full sense of culture and fit. I found it worthwhile, however, since the assignments help you to understand the kind of work being done, and once the assignment is done, the focus can shift almost entirely to questions of fit.

The process had several steps, which made it a bit exhausting at times. That said, all the interviewers were very kind and easy to talk to. Most of the interviews seemed focused on making sure I clearly understood the role and how I would approach the work. In total, the process included one screening interview, a take-home assignment, one technical interview, and two HR interviews.
