I applied online. I interviewed at Cloudvara (Patna, Uttar Pradesh) in May 2024
Interview
The interview process for the Data Analyst role at ABHISHEK RANJAN included three distinct rounds. The first was an HR screening, which felt more like a casual conversation than an interview—it started with the recruiter joking about my Zoom background (a bookshelf I hadn’t dusted!). We talked about my journey into data analysis and why I love telling stories with numbers.
The second round, a technical assessment, was a wake-up call. I remember being asked to write a SQL query with nested subqueries—a topic I'd reviewed the night before. It was satisfying to see that prep pay off. One question involved analyzing grocery sales data, and I shared how I once manually tracked our family’s spending patterns to optimize monthly costs. That real-life touch caught their attention.
The final round with the analytics team focused on practical thinking. They gave me a case study on user engagement trends, and I instinctively broke it down with a mix of regression analysis and cohort charts—tools I picked up during a personal project on website traffic spikes during festivals. The team appreciated the unique angle.
