Interview
**Application Process:**
Applied through campus referral. The process took about **2.5 weeks** and consisted of **3 rounds**.
**Interview Rounds:**
1. **Aptitude & Excel Assessment (Online)**
First round was a basic aptitude + Excel skills test. It included case-based numerical questions and Excel functions (VLOOKUP, Pivot Tables, IF statements). Fairly standard but time-sensitive.
2. **Technical Interview (Virtual)**
Conducted by the Data Science Manager. Questions covered:
* Project walkthrough (I spoke about an inventory cost variance dashboard I’d built in Power BI)
* Concepts in regression, data cleaning, KPI building
* Tools: SQL joins, DAX vs. Excel formulas, use of Power BI filters
Also had 2 short case scenarios: "How would you estimate demand for a product with incomplete data?" and "Design a dashboard for plant managers tracking efficiency."
3. **HR + Behavioral Round (Phone Call)**
Final round was with HR. Asked about:
* Relocation flexibility (the role was Mumbai-based)
* Career goals and preferred domains (Manufacturing, Supply Chain, etc.)
* Standard situational questions: “A time you handled a data error before a deadline,” etc.
**Overall Experience:**
Smooth and professional. The interviewers were friendly and seemed genuinely interested in data quality and domain fit. They appreciated real-world project examples, especially where I linked analytics with operational savings.
**Tips for Future Candidates:**
* Brush up on Excel and Power BI – dashboards and use cases matter more than textbook definitions
* Be ready with 2–3 strong data projects where you directly influenced business decisions
* Understand basic manufacturing KPIs: cycle time, cost per unit, defect rates, etc.
**Result:**
Got the offer and accepted. Solid place for early-career analytics professionals, especially if you're interested in working at the intersection of operations and data
