      Client Services Analyst Interview

      25 Jul 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Palo Alto, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Medallia (Palo Alto, CA) in Jul 2014

      Interview

      I first applied online but did not hear a response. I was only contacted two months later after I was referred by an employee. 1. HR Interview As soon I was referred, I was contacted by HR to schedule an interview. The interview focused a lot on your past experiences and your intentions on applying to Medallia and to the specific position. Make sure you know the company and its product well, and try to articulate why your past experiences and skills would make you a good fit for this position. The interviewer was super nice and enthusiastic, very informational and very helpful. Didn't feel like an interview at all, it was very conversational. He got back to me for a follow-up interview almost immediately after, on the same day. 2. Analyst Interview This was a one hour interview with a current analyst. Again, the interviewer was super conversational and a really nice person to talk to! We talked again about my past experiences and what the position entailed. The last 30 minutes was reserved for brain teasers. This was by far the most difficult part of the interview. The interviewer was so pleasant and sweet that I didn't feel too nervous or uncomfortable in answering the brain teasers. The first two questions had a definite answer and the last two questions, were open-ended questions which were intended to evaluate the thought process of the candidate while solving a problem. My advice is to definitely read up on brain teasers on this page and also just general ones you can find on the internet. Either way, the interviewer will definitely guide you through it, so relax and do the best you can! Medallia got back to me almost immediately - I completed my interview in the late afternoon and I was told that I would be proceeding to the challenge stage the morning after. 3. Challenge We were given a spec and excel challenge to be completed within 24 hours. A 30 minute phone call was scheduled with a current analyst to answer all the questions you may have regarding the challenge. Again, the analyst I spoke to was super chill and helpful! I wouldn't say that the spec and the excel challenge were particularly difficult, but you have to be able to work with a variety of excel formulas and functions. Make sure you know the if functions, vlookup, ifaverage, sum functions, iferrors and etc. I was told the morning after I submitted my challenge that I will not be proceeding to the next round.

      Thank you for leaving such a detailed review. You've provided a very thorough snapshot of what it's like to interview with us, and I'm glad to hear you had a positive experience with your interviewers. While I regret that we were unable to move forward at this time, I am truly appreciative of your interest in our company and hope that you keep us in mind again in the future. If you'd like to give me any additional feedback on our process or suggestions for ways we could improve, I'd love to hear them at amy.pressman@medallia.com.
