I have been working at YipitData full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
-Great interview process - streamlined, comprehensive, exciting, engaging. Especially appreciated the take-home exercise, which gave me strong insight into the role itself. The take-home was what really drove my conviction in the work we'd be doing (ie: it was the moment I realized I would both enjoy and be well-equipped to perform in the role) and I found that it was a helpful basis of knowledge for the rest of the interview process.
-The 'superday' of interviews is both exciting and exhausting -- you have the opportunity to meet so many folks across the company, but the loaded schedule is definitely a test in it of itself!
-Wonderful culture & people
-Great benefits/perks; many career advancement opportunities available
Cons
-Of course, onboarding virtually is a challenge (there's a lot you can learn from sitting in an office and hearing how people talk to each other, clients, etc that I'm, of course, missing out on). However, the team has done as good of a job possible in our remote environment (very comprehensive training schedule, swift access to management for questions/catchups) - and I've appreciated how much Yipit invests in its onboarding (even the CEO participates in your training process!).
Advice to Management
Really appreciate how transparent everyone is -- keep this up as we scale! Also really appreciate how approachable/available senior management is.

Application
I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at YipitData.
Interview
Very transparent interview process, which is nice these days. Was identical to the other experiences posted here. The initial assignment is very easy, and I got my results right away. The second take-home assignment is definitely the meat of the whole process. Don't rush it, and read the instructions very carefully. After submitting, I had about 6 rounds of back and forth questions. These allowed me to clarify some of my points and adjust my answers. Take them seriously!
The final round interviews consisted of an HR call, three behavioral interviews, and a discussion with the CEO. All were done over Zoom due to Covid, and each one was more pleasant than the last. Don't stress too much if you make it to this phase, just be able to confidently explain why you applied and would be a good fit.
I also had another offer come up during the assignment phase, with a deadline to accept it. After informing Yipitdata's HR they were very quick to streamline the hiring process to accommodate my new timeline. Definitely some of the nicest and most helpful hiring managers I have had the pleasure of interacting with!
