I applied online. I interviewed at YipitData (New York, NY) in Oct 2020
Interview
Dont waste your time.
1. First interview is an assignment about a fictional company called "Go.com". This is pretty easy and takes around 1 hr to do. It's literally just plugging stuff into an excel sheet. Estimate for the 1Q15 Profit should be around 2M.
2. The next interview is atrociously long. It's this long assignment about Groupon using webscraped data. They have you estimate a bunch of stuff. They also ask you to put your career motivations, GPA, major, standardized exams on a separate sheet.
HR was pretty fast, but honestly the 2nd assignment is not worth doing. Just takes way too long to do.
For reference, salaries are Data Specialist (65-70k), Data Prod. Associate (100k), Data product analyst (120k), Senior Data Product Analyst (150k). Pretty terrible salaries for NYC based company.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at YipitData in Jun 2026
Interview
The interview process was very structured and conducted in a professional manner. First there was a talk with HR, and after that I had to a take-home assignment to assess some analytical skills. After it was approved, I went through a technical interview with a case study, and after that I went through two more interviews to assess soft skills and talk about my prior experiences in more detail.

Interview
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.
Recruiter did not inform me that the interview will be recorded and transcribed using a 3rd party AI tool. A few days before the interview, I received a spam email from the AI company that went into my Promotions folder, informing me that YipitData uses it to record interviews. Despite declining it from the email and checking with the recruiter, I decided not to proceed with the interview. Be careful, as they are a market research company, you never know how they will use your personal data
