      Data Scientist Interview

      1 Sept 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Boston, MA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Hopper (Boston, MA) in Aug 2018

      Interview

      I applied for the position of Data Scientist with Hopper. The process is extremely extremely super slow. Very misorganized recruiting process and they are not clear of their needs. I spent 3-4 days cumulative on two rounds of Data Challenge (which was good to work on) and they are looking for some free consultation. At the end after follow ups I was told that they are not focussing on Data Engineering hires and Data Science roles are not an immediate focus. I had a Skype Round with a Manager and the manager was least interested (yawning, looking here and there). The company and opportunity seems good but the process and the needs are highly disorganized. I would not recommend investing a lot of time and keeping expectations from them, if you are seriously interested in switching company in 1-2 months time.

      complete a task, on what must be a common use case for them. It was given as a short open ended assignment with a clear dataset. I felt like it was a fair task, however didn't allow for me to showcase many skills

      Data Scientist Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Hopper

      Interview

      I saw the Glassdoor reviews noting the job postings are "fake", but wanted to give benefit of the doubt - big mistake. First off, the recruiter's salary band was lower than my current salary, and I made it clear I'd definitely want at least as much as I currently make - I figured I could negotiate later, and focused my energy on understanding the company and seeing if its a good fit. Recruiter noted next step would be call with hiring manager who they call "revenue leader". I got an email from the recruiting coordinator there would be a data challenge. I figured why not, its good practice for the sake of learning. I've listed the questions below for everyone to see what to expect. I got asked when I'd submit the assignment, then the morning after I submitted it, the position was magically placed "on hold", despite the recruiter noting during the initial call that they were looking to hire someone within the month. Everyone, listen to the reviews - Hopper isn't looking to hire, they're looking to mine free ideas via these take home challenges! They don't want you, they want your IDEAS, for FREE! The questions cover product ideation, hypothesis testing and experiment design, and modeling - basically anything they could want ideas for. It was a great learning experience to solve the problems, and to realize that if people on Glassdoor are saying a company is using their take home challenges to mine ideas and waste candidate time, they really are doing that - trust the reviews! Luckily I received other offers I'm very happy with so good riddance.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Part 1: Product Ideation and Hypotheses Can you come up with 1-3 hypotheses/ideas that could increase the % of shoppers who convert? Now, pick the hypothesis that you think is most impactful. Can you quantify the potential revenue impact or value of this change? You'll need to make some assumptions. If we build x feature, what 4 main KPIs would you look at in order to measure the health of feature x? Part 2: Data Analysis and Interpretation We tested 4 tip variants compared to the control. The variants appeared either pre- or post- booking and as variable amount options or a toggle. Our most important metric is total revenue per user. Which variant performed best? If you were leading this experiment and these were the findings, what would be your next step? Part 3: Modeling As the provider of the Price Freeze product, Hopper has full autonomy on the pricing, structure and terms of each Price Freeze. Imagine that as a Data Scientist, your task is to provide a framework for structuring/pricing Price Freezes dynamically in order to maximize revenue. What do you think are the important drivers of success that should be tuned in order to achieve your goal? Given the drivers you've listed above: how would you model net revenue as a function of those drivers? Now, imagine you start building this net revenue model so you can predict the best Price Freeze to offer the user. You have the ability to deploy one or many models into production and observe how users interact with the Price Freezes you offer them. How do you design the experiment? What are you trying to learn? What does success look like? How do you progress, given the various potential outcomes?
