      Business Data Analyst Interview

      Sep 28, 2020
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Caterpillar

      Interview

      Got an email from the recruiter the same day that I applied to the role asking me a couple of basic questions about my experience, salary expectations. I then did not hear from the recruiter for another week. I then get an email asking me to fill out responses to a couple of behavioral questions. I followed up a few days after sending these over and the recruiter claimed that my information was sent to the hiring manager - this was 11 days ago and I've been ghosted when I followed up most recently. Overall, I'm just really disappointed in how unprofessional this process has been. I didn't actually have a single "interview" despite being "in consideration" and if I was no longer in consideration that information was never conveyed to me.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      I had to type out responses to the following: Can you provide an example of a time where you had limited tools/resources and on a short deadline to provide a business recommendation based on several data inputs and qualitative information? How did you approach the problem, and what tools did you use? (looking for an answer that seems pragmatic and ultimately provided a minimum viable solution given tight constraints) Can you provide an example where you received a large data set and were asked to provide a business recommendation? How did you provide these recommendations? What was the outcome of that recommendation, either good or bad and were there any measurable business outcomes from your recommendation? (looking for a response where there was interest in follow up from the candidate. Not looking for someone who just cleans and provides data sets)
