I applied online. I interviewed at YipitData (New York, NY) in Nov 2020
Interview
I applied through the company website for the data specialist role. A recruiter followed up with me and I said there was a take-home test. This one didn't take much time to do, as it's a level one smell test. They send you instructions and data file and you are to make estimations. This can be done in excel.
After passing level one, they send you further instructions for a level two assignments, which is much harder than the first. This is a case study assignment. A lot of reading is involved so you can understand the context surrounding a public company. The task is to do another estimation of financial data. Again it can be done in excel. Make sure to look carefully at the data and provide as accurate an estimate as possible. You need to treat the assignment as if you were working on the case. A bad estimation could cost the client company millions of dollars, so treat the assignment with due diligence and care.

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
