Reports for the Abc Business Analyst role describe a mix of behavioral conversation, practical data questions and questions about the role itself, and the emphasis shifts by interviewer and team. Behavioral and situational questions appear in nearly every account, so expect to talk through your background, strengths and reasons for applying before anything technical.
The technical content is uneven. One candidate was asked about Python, SQL, Excel and working with large datasets, along with the company's main business. Another, in a three-round process, met a BA manager who asked about Python, presenting data to clients with charts, and Azure topics such as Data Factory, Synapse, Delta Lake and merging Delta tables in Databricks. A third was asked to explain SQL views, cross joins and self joins and to write queries, then worked through another query with the hiring manager. Find out what the team actually uses and be ready to show hands-on data skills either way.
One candidate reported later rounds on role fundamentals: what a Business Analyst does, why the role matters, and how they had applied Agile, Scrum, SWOT or BPMN. The same person was asked to walk through a project where data analysis surfaced insights that shaped a strategic decision. Bring a story with the data, the insight and the decision it influenced.
Expect a closing conversation about fit and expectations as well. One candidate's last round was with HR to discuss salary, and another's was a behavioral round with a project manager on fit with the organization's vision and mission. Outcomes in the Business Analyst reports were mostly rejections, and one candidate found the process longer than expected.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
Candidates describe an opening conversation about their background, interest in the role and, in one account, an HR phone screen on the day-to-day responsibilities of a business analyst. Prepare a concise introduction and a clear reason for applying.
One candidate was asked about Python, SQL, Excel and large datasets. Another met a BA manager who asked about Python, presenting insights with charts, and Azure tools such as Data Factory, Synapse and Delta Lake. Others found the SQL questions fairly straightforward, so check what the team uses.
One account covered what a Business Analyst does, why the role matters, and examples of using Agile, Scrum, SWOT or BPMN. The same candidate was asked to describe a project where data analysis informed a strategic decision. Prepare a story linking data, insight and decision.
Candidates describe behavioral questions on strengths and fit with the organization's vision and mission, led in one case by a project manager. In another account, the final round was with HR to discuss salary and expectations.
