Skillz Strategy Analyst interview questions

I had a similar experience to other reviewers. It was discouraging as I spent a good amount of time preparing and interacting with the apps in advance. I had prepared some specific app ideas (thinking it would show my interest) but wasn’t given the opportunity to talk about my experience or thoughts. Regarding the in-person interview: - Both in the phone screen and interview, there seemed to be a strong focus on candidates’ grades and formal accomplishments like promotions or awards. Much less focus on who you are as a person, your creativity, or what unique experiences you could bring to the company. - Pairs of interviewers rotated into the room. They had standard, scripted questions prepared, especially for the case studies. They stared blankly at me as I read and talked through the cases and seemed annoyed when I didn’t feed them the “right” answers. - Interviewers spoke about how picky they are in hiring and how important it is for them to find candidates who are the right fit. However, minimal time was spent getting to know each other beyond assessment performance. I suppose they already had all the necessary information from my resume. - Overall it was a very uncomfortable and unwelcoming experience. I’m sure the interviewers had good intentions, but most of their demeanors came across as arrogant, fake-friendly, and disinterested. In the words of another Glassdoor reviewer: “The desire to not proceed further was mutual.”
