This experience concerns a **Data Scientist** interview at **Etsy** in the **United States**, with a **hybrid** work arrangement. ## Outcome and timing - **Result:** Got offer - **Interview date:** 2 years ago - **Timespan:** 4 weeks - **Difficulty:** Easy - **Submitted:** 3 months ago ## Interview process The candidate described the experience as good overall, but found another opportunity and was glad not to proceed. The recruiter was described as nice; the hiring manager seemed distracted, and the role ultimately did not feel like a good fit. The process included: - Recruiter screen - Phone interview ## Interview rounds There were **3 questions across 2 rounds**. ### Recruiter screen **1 question** was listed. The publicly available question is: - [What is a p-value?](https://www.aced.io/questions/3722) ### Phone interview **2 questions** were listed. The accessible interview details describe a **45-minute conversation with a senior interviewer**, consisting mostly of open-ended questions, a short follow-up near the end, and substantial discussion of tradeoffs. One question was: > How would you improve a product you use every day for a new market? The candidate's sample response was: > I picked a segment first, sized it, and compared three options before choosing one and its success metric. The question and response appear twice in the accessible content; we retain them once here. ## Interview tips The experience recommends practicing out loud with a timer, keeping a framework ready for every round, and asking the recruiter what each interviewer focuses on so examples can be tailored accordingly. ## Company culture The candidate described the interviewers as collaborative and focused on the user. The team appeared to value structured thinking over polish, and interviewers left time for questions at the end. ## Access and contribution The full experience is available to members. The membership prompt says it includes the remainder of this interview and new experiences added weekly, with **1.8k+ interview experiences** advertised. - [Become a member](https://www.aced.io/upgrade?src=experience) - [Share your experience](https://www.aced.io/questions/contribute?src=experience) A **24-hour trial starts once a submitted experience is approved**. ## About Aced We are **Aced, formerly Exponent**.
