Analyst Interview Questions

oh ok i'm yet to get that call from HR though the interview went good.

If you don't hear from them in 2-3 days, just drop a mail to the recruiter. All the best :)

yep thanks. I had interview today and i was told that the HR will be in touch. Lets see what follows. Thanks again for your time. :)

could you please help me with what types of questions should I expect in second round of onsite interview of same? Atleast those questions that were asked to you. Thanks.

I'll give you the same advice I got. Be ready for on-the-spot analysis since they're going to give you case based questions, i.e. given a particular situation what would you do. These are mostly role related but I did get a few advertising or marketing related questions as well. Google about Google as much as you can :)

I really need help regarding the process of phone interview,as I have phone interview within 3days.I mean what all the skills they may conclude by the end of phone interview? Hope someone replies. Thank you.

read the topics mentioned in the mail you have received from Google reg interview. Be ready for any google's product analysis. Present your views proactively. It will be so friendly interview that you wouldn't feel that you are actually going through it. They check thought processing speed and different thinking. Relax and give your best.

How many days will it take to complete all rounds of interview if we able to clear call.I mean will it take couple of days or months time?

2-3 weeks for the interviews, and another 2-4 weeks before the final offer. Yes, that waiting period, where you know your local office wants you but you're still not sure whether US office will give the go ahead, is agonizing. But trust me, for Google, the wait's worth it! XD

i had first onsite interview on 23rd and haven't heard anything from Google yet ( 3 days) what that mean? Does Google inform the result of interview process or it just stop communicating in case you couldn't make it? Any word of advice would be appreciated,

Thank you very much for replying back for my doubts.so may i know the package for the product qulaity analyst-hyderabad role?

I've had two interviews so far, an introductory one with the recruiter and a more detailed one with someone from the team. Been 3 days but havent heard anything yet. How long will it generally take for them to revert? And I presume they will let you know if you didnt cut it?

I have been scheduled the last round with the director next week. Any hints? Is there a higher probability that we may be selected if we progress till this round?

Well, common sense says so. They shouldn't waste the director's time unless the candidate is worth considering. I wouldn't know more than that since I'm yet to join ... what I can tell you is though it's gonna be very short interview 15-20 mins, and will cover more of basics ... it's more like he wants to get to know the person they're seriously considering hiring. All the best!

Hi. I am the one who had his final round with the director scheduled and asked for hints. Now all the interviews are over. I got a mail that the interviews were productive and they require some documents. I sent them over and they are in the process of preparing the information packet. Could you give me a brief as to what would happen after this. Thanks for your help. Your post was quite helpful for me to get this far. Thanks a lot.

Well, this means their local (India I presume) office has approved your candidature and they want to hire you. Now, they'll check the documents and make a pitch for you to their US office, where the merit of the case would be reviewed by one of the executives, and unless you've a very bad luck, you should get through. This process will take couple of weeks though. In the mean time, you can always ask any friend at Google (no matter where, which role) to look up your candidature status. For instance, it takes some time for them to prepare offer even after everything has been approved. Best of luck :)

Thanks a lot buddy. Hoping I am lucky enough..

Let us know if you get the final offer :)

Heyy Query ... and Anonymous .... I just received a call and completed the HR Screening round and I have the next round with an Ops guy .. I use many of the Google Products but am still tensed. Any tips for the forthcoming rounds ??

Hi.. can you tell me what do they ask/check in the onsite interview at google office. Is it on the same lines as the previous interviews? any case studies or the same questions on risks related to different google products.

Hey I am the one for whom the information packet was being prepared. I got the final offer :) But the basic+BOB was only marginally increased. But the promised bonus+shares was a big part of the compensation. It was a mixed feeling but I took the offer no matter what. After all, its Google :) I would be joining next month. Do u know if the hikes are good there. I know its performance based but on an average is it good?

Yes, unfortunately that was the case for me too. The salary increase was marginal for me as well. Don't know about the hikes yet!

Hey there, I have my first interview tomorrow with the recruiter who contacted me through mail, as far as i can see from the previous conversations in the thread this one is going to be a basic one and if good enuf will follow another one which will be a little detailed one?.. also could you please tell me what this interviewer will be be judging me on?.. and incase if i get through what will be the next round about? i'd appreciate if i can get an answer soon.. and @query if possible would you be able to disclose an approx figure of your salary??.. i mean what should I be expecting(i know its too soon to think about that when I havnt even given my frist interview) :P

hey .. had my interview today.. next round has been scheculed.. 2 days from now.. he told me if this was a level 2 interview that would be a level 8 interview.. a bit tensed now.. could you please help me out

Hi Query (one who got final offer), what is your work ex and did someone from senior management of google india speak to you in final round? if yes what did he ask and how you answered as I'm going to have one soon in final round.

@ those who accepted the offer did u guys try negotiating? did they even entertain ur request for negotiations...fixed part is not that great...salary increase wud be only due t stcoks!!!

No point trying unless you can show them you've a better offer from somewhere else :)

after packet was submitted to hiring committee,the result was negative even when each interviewers had given positive feedback about me except the last interviewer who was from senior management. Disappointed with the result, it was more than 2 months process, all gone. :(

cont.. to mention i had 6 total rounds unlike to usual 4 rounds. It so happened that after usual 4 rounds (1 tele + 3 onsite after I provided documents and all which you guys say as 'go ahead ' from Google India) I was told that there is sudden shift in policy from head quarter and someone from senior mgmt will speak to me for 5th round and it went to 6th round where the feedback given was not supportive as per recruiter and I guess that led to negative final result by hiring committee.

To anonymous who got the offer, I had my first round telephonic interview today...went well...the interviewer finally told me that i must be more specific and have to be a bit-more explanatory...he mentioned me that i am through to next round and asked me how much time i need to prepare? i told him 1 week...he told thats fine and i will have my 2-nd interview after 1 week...when will i get the mail regarding this?? also,give me a couple of questions u had faced in this round...help pls...anxious!!

Hi... i had an interview that is first round as jam session in which, out of 20, only me and another girl got selected and recruiter told us to wait 2 to 3 weeks for next round, he also told to gain a brief knowledge abt Google services and products e.t.c. Here my doubt is its been two weeks still i have not received any call, mail nothing. will it take really this much time?cause for only second round its like i am waiting for ages...!! any help is greatly appreciated..!!

Hey, So i have had all my rounds (including director) How long did you have to wait between the last round and an intimation to submit documents? (assuming all goes well?)

I have call from recruiter yesterday regarding Program Manager position in Google. She told me that I have to come for f2f interview on Thursday morning. Can you please suggest me how should I prepare for it. It is going to be technical also "SQL" stuff. Plz let me know..

Heyy guys i have an hangout interview next week but my interviewer gave me a feedback saying" i was not good enough but i am putting u to the next round , you have to improve a lot "and he gave the same review for my 1st interview also that i had to improve a lot bt he was like il put you to 2nd round !! m clueless plz give tips for the hangout i knw about NDA bt just tips would be great

Hey may I know the approx package you got for this position. Including bonus and stocks. Thank you

I ve had 2 rounds of telephonic interviews.I have an onsite interview pretty soon at hyderabad office.Can someone give me a heads up/tips ?

You mention "I had researched a lot and had a fair amount of knowledge anyway so I refrained from asking questions in a couple of interviews" - What do you mean by "fair amount of knowledge". What kind of knowledge did you have related to this position

Hi all, I've got quite a long story and don't understand how to treat all this. I've got a message from HR through Linkedin for the same position about 2 weeks ago. At the same day I sent him over my CV and got back the question when it would be suitable for me to arrange a call. We decided to make it on Friday 15/11/2013, but i haven't got any call and was quite upset about it. In the evening of that day i send an email to sort out why there was no call, and got back appologize for missing it and again question about suitable time. ok, no problem! i told him that i have time on Monday 18/11/2013, but again neither got any response nor call! I really don't understand that recruiter... During the last week I also tried to contact him 2 or 3 times via email and Linkedin, but no result. Right yesterday I got a phone call without any arrangement, but as far as I was in gym - I missed it and noticed too late. Today I got an email from him about his unsuccessfull attempt and one more question 'when it would be suitable'. It's very funny so far:) I asked him to call be back today and... you won't believe... again no call and no messages! What should I do with this situation? Should I continue to disturb him or not? Don't like to leave the issues unsolved :(

Hi guys, Can anyone please help me what exactly do they focus on in interviews ? I have my interview in three days! What should one prepare?

hey can you list down some questions that were asked specially the scenario and analysis types.that would help even at places other than google.

1 - P(gun1 failed) * P(gun2 failed) = 1 - (3/6)*(4/6) = 2/3

I guess it is a six revolver. 1-3/6*4/6=2/3

* Why to assume the revoler to have 6 slots? A die is thrown, possible outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Likewise, a bullet is shot, possible outcomes are hit or no-hit. Now the possibility to die is probability that atleast one bullet hits the target = 3/4 * If a six bullet revolver is assumed, then the total possible outcomes is 12. The probability to die is the probability that atleast one bullet hits the target = 3/12 = 1/4

Ho there is a glitch! * If a six bullet revolver is assumed, then the total possible outcomes is 36. Now the possibility to die is probability that atleast one bullet hits the target = 3/36 = 1/12

The prob should be 5/12. Lets consider a case where both the guns have 5 bullets each, simply adding i.e, 5/6 + 5/6 would give a prob greater than 1. To kill, any one of the bullets in either of the guns need to be in the slot that gives 5/12.

probability of 1st gun firing a round is P(a)=3/6. and probability of 2nd gun firing P(b)= 2/6. probability of 1st gun FAILURE P(a')=3/6 probability of 2 nd gun FAILURE P(b')=4/6 3 conditions are possible p(a)*P(b')+P(a')*P(b)+P(a)*P(b)=2/3

probability of 1st gun firing a round is P(a)=3/6. and probability of 2nd gun firing P(b)= 2/6. probability of 1st gun FAILURE P(a')=3/6 probability of 2 nd gun FAILURE P(b')=4/6 3 conditions are possible p(a)*P(b')+P(a')*P(b)+P(a)*P(b)=2/3

Answer - 5/6 Solution - Either bullet is fired from Gun A or Gun B P(A) = 5C2/6C3 P(B) = 5C1/6C2 P(A OR B ) = P(A) +P(B)= 5/6

You Shoot and I die , simple ,now do I need wait to calculate your probability

but the question doesn't specify how many bullet shots will lead to death of person that data too is important

83% of getting killed

the chance of getting killed is 41% and the chance of survival is 59%..

the chance of getting killed is 41% and the chance of survival is 59%..

If its a probability question to a school kid the answer is pretty direct, but to professionals, shouldn't they be asking for other inputs like what other variables are at play? Also are we looking at a target hit or kill? For kill the probability reduces since of all the exposed area, the bullets have to hit the critical to life parts /arteries/veins etc. Other angles at play are wind velocity, distance, even type of gun, for example a double barrel gun will have two bullet slot and if the second gun being used is a double barrel and we are shooting the target at point blank, there is no question of probability ..target will be hit...,but if the hand angle is low, shooting at the feet may not result in a kill..

From a business metrics perspective. If I am being hit by a bullet, it doesn't mean that I'll die. Maybe you'd like to clear that out first. To find the probability of being hit by a bullet, we find two cases: Hit by one bullet and hit by two bullets Hit by one bullet: (3/6)*(4/6) + (3/6)*(2/6) = 1/2 Hit by two bullets: (3/6)*(2/6) = 1/6 Answer = 2/3

(N-2)^3

(n-2)^3 you can verify by assuming n=4. Try to visualize invisible cubes and compare it with answers.

Prepare your resume with clear titles, education and experience while applying for job. Please ask the recruiter to share the job description before applying for any job.

sup question

same here with Accenture,the HR lady as really stupid,if they dont have any work then y d helll they call candidate n waste there time.

try a triangle

triangle shpe . . . . . . . . .

triangle - - - - - - - - -

I think we can take a perfect model of both objects and weigh them separately...

by immersing them in a liquid....one by one....and checking the amount of volume displaced.......and applying principles on the liquid collected

immersing in the liquiud is the ans to thi s ques ... bt still then they are connected together so the total volume obtained would the sum of both objects .. then how could we find the volume of each one ..

Water displacement theory seems to be nice. Since there is no information regarding how they are attached we can do the following way. catch one weighted and dip the other weight in water. Some water will be displaced. Now repaeat the same in revesrese order. i.e catch the second side and dip the other weight. Now calculate the amount of water displaced in both the cases. greater displacement - lesser water displacement. Now immerse completely both the objects and find the displacement of water. by this you can arrive at the answer

its simply and easy. Let us use the simple way to determine which is heavier. Let us assume the weights are connected with the thread. And use the water displacement. And we can use the six standard mathematics (A+b) whole square formulae. We can calculate the weight of the object

first egg, try floors at 14, 27, 39, 50, 60, 69, 77, 84, 90, 95, 99, 100 second egg then try floors in between, then no more than 14 tries total in worst case

for n floor building answer will be Int refers to rounding of the closest integer. Int(sqrt(n))) - 1*Z + (IntSqrt(n) - 1) + (n - M) where Z = 0 if n - Int(sqrt(n))^2 > 0 Z = 1 if n - Int(sqrt(n))^2 <= 0 and M is maximum integer multiple of Int(sqrt(n) <= n

50 times: 2,4,6,...,100

earlier answer 14 drops is wrong because if the floor at which egg breaks is 68, it will require 15 drops: 14 27 39 40 50 60 69 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 Therefore the minimum drops is 15: drop first egg in these floors. no chance you will need to drop more that 15 times. 15 29 42 54 55 65 74 82 89 95 100
