Data Manager Interview Questions

2,490 data manager interview questions shared by candidates

Asked me about product metrics. They insist they are just looking for your "thought process", but the interviewers are inexperienced and thus looking at a check box on the side. My interviewer kept prodding me to cover a very specific metric and didn't care at all about the framework I outlined. The specific metric they finally disclosed would have given a very biased outcome - something they would have known if they had any experience at all. 2 yrs working in 1 company and a PhD that doesn't cover any true business scenarios doesn't qualify you to interview an industry veteran.

They were asking ambiguous questions that were difficult to convey over the phone. Like: Describe the biggest spreadsheet that you have had to deal with. Also other Excel questions like what are the shortcomings of some of the Excel Lookup functions.
