      Analyst Interview

      28 Dec 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Detroit, MI
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Urban Science (Detroit, MI) in Oct 2016

      Interview

      **Their Process** I met my Urban Science rep at a career fair on my university's campus. They emailed me to set up an onsite interview about a month after the career fair. At the onsite interview, I interviewed with 3 different teams. I was told the teams would bid on who they want, and I would interview with the managers of the teams that bid on me. Finally, I would receive offer(s) and decide which offer I wanted to accept, if any. **My Experience** I say all this constructively. Hopefully an Urban Science rep will read this review and refine their process. The communication from Urban Science was very poor. The email requesting my first interview did not communicate the interview would be 4.5 hours and onsite in Detroit. I did not receive this information until they sent me a confirmation email which overlapped my requested time slots by several hours. I was also upset that they offered no compensation for travel. The three interviews were extremely redundant. I was under the impression no one had looked at my resume until we were in the interview. Furthermore, each team defines "analyst" differently. The legal team wanted someone who could make SQL calls, and the analytical services team wanted someone with some stats knowledge. The jobs are totally different, and I had no interest in the duties involved with 2 of the 3 teams. This should have been obvious from my initial contact with Urban Science. Also, one of Urban Science's biggest criticisms is that the leaders are disconnected from the teams. When I asked about this culture problem, I was told, "Yeah, that's definitely a problem most teams face here," with very little belief that would change. I had very little desire to work for Urban Science after this interview, but I hung on for the phone call with the manager. The analytical services team manager was a pleasure to talk to and I would love to work for him, however, Urban Science signaled too many red flags throughout the process. A final word on the topic of poor communication: I never received follow up with an offer or rejection. This happened in spite of two phone calls (one unsolicited) promising I would hear back by December 1, and later, December 15.
