Burlingame, CAPosted Mar 2016 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed for the Data Analyst role with a heavier emphasis on quantitative readiness: a written/Excel or regression-style test followed by a phone discussion where they pushed for clear reasoning.

Written/Excel test — I completed an Excel-based test, sometimes described as including the writing/test component.
Technical phone interview — I walked through the test; I was challenged when my reasoning was vague and asked to explain the analytical process explicitly.
(Onsite soon after) — In-person rounds included additional logic/stat or quantitative testing and multiple interviews centered on research/work experience, often with repeated questions. Outcome: I didn’t move forward, and the consistent takeaway was that they cared more about how I reasoned through
