      Manager-Strategic Analysis & Testing Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at American Express

      Interview

      I had a 15-minute phone-screening interview on a Wednesday, followed by a 1-hour technical phone interview the following Friday. My comments pertain to the technical interview. The technical interview was broken into 3 parts: 1.) Technical statistical questions (e.g., assumptions of the analysis, strengths and weaknesses of various estimation procedures, how it treats various types of variables) 2.) Hypothesis Testing (this was all self-explanatory) 3.) Applied Questions. They prefaced this question by telling you that they just want to know how you think and that there may not be a right answer. Some of these were along the lines of statistical brain teasers. They end the interview by giving you the opportunity to ask them questions.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Which of these pieces of information would be most useful in estimating the number of people who work in a 30 story building. 1.) The number of cars in the parking lot 2.) The number of people eating lunch in the cafeteria 3.) The number of people on the 11th floor I had no idea how to answer this one. They all seem inadequate. Several of the other questions had more obvious red herrings, so gave a justification for ruling out #3, then focused on the pros and cons of the other 2. I think they just want to know how you work through this kind of problem. (But who knows?)
