Two Business Analyst candidates describe an Adidas process that centers on behavioral judgment rather than technical testing. One reported an HR phone screen followed by a conversation with the potential direct manager, with no case study, coding challenge, SQL questions or modeling exercise. That candidate said the whole process took about two weeks from application to decision and ended in an offer.
The second candidate came in through a referral. After a phone conversation with the hiring manager, they were brought into an in-person interview with two additional managers. They had not expected a panel, and they described the questions as behavioral, focused on staying focused and adapting under high stress, rather than technically difficult. They received an offer and declined it.
The reported questions are about weaknesses, motivation for the role, and how to handle two people giving conflicting assignments with the same deadline and priority. A sound answer to that last one would clarify urgency with both stakeholders and be open about your capacity. Prepare stories from past roles about ambiguity, competing priorities, pushing back and pressure, and practice telling them concisely in front of more than one interviewer.
With only two relevant reports, formats may vary by team. Confirm who you will meet and be ready for a panel even if you are told to expect a one-on-one.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
Candidates report applying online or going through a friend's referral to a specific team. One said they heard back within a few days. Another waited roughly two weeks before the hiring manager contacted them, so response times may vary by team.
One candidate describes an HR phone screen covering background, interest in the role and weaknesses, and a second describes a call with the hiring manager. Both described it as straightforward fit-checking, and the first reported no technical questions at this stage.
One candidate met the potential direct manager and discussed past challenges and a conflicting-assignments scenario. Another faced an in-person panel with two additional managers and was asked about focus and adapting under stress. Candidates may want to prepare for either a one-on-one or a panel, and for examples of ambiguity and pressure.
Both Business Analyst candidates reported receiving an offer. One described a total timeline of about two weeks from application to decision, and the other did not give an end-to-end duration. Timing in other cases may differ.
