I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Rakuten Advertising
Interview
Phone interview: introduction about the company, self-intro, background go through.
Example of a data analysis case you completed or any relative working experience you had. Detail and process oriented.
A case was given during the phone interview. Assuming the sales revenue of Amazon.com in certain states decreased to some extend. Those states also introduced sales tax at that period. How to determine if those changes were caused by the introduction of sales tax. How would you compare to different data in order to get the result.
Is there any question you want to know about the company or the position
We really appreciate you taking the time to comment on the interview process.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Rakuten Advertising
Interview
Started with a phone screen with a recruiter, then a call with the hiring manager and another employee, then a take-home Excel/SQL test, then a 4-hr on-site meeting with a wide range of people you may be working with, and finally calls with more senior-level managers. Very thorough because they're building a great analytics team.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Behavioral and case-study questions. Mostly around how you would analyze/present data - need to be at least somewhat familiar with Slice's dataset.
