Aon's interviews for analyst-track roles rely more on conversation than on technical testing. The clearest report for this role comes from a candidate who described a four-round Business Analyst process: an HR screen about motivation and background, followed by back-to-back interviews with the hiring manager and team members. Questions were behavioral, such as how the candidate manages time and handles challenges, and the interviewers were friendly and open.
A Health Solutions Analyst candidate started with a HireVue video interview, then had three Zoom calls of about thirty minutes each. The first covered business research, Salesforce CRM, and reinsurance and brokerage basics. The next two used STAR-style behavioral questions. The last, with a director, explored motivation and research experience with exploratory techniques and secondary databases.
Technical questions were rare. One Project Associate candidate faced a fast-paced recorded video interview on Python packages, SQL execution order and VLOOKUP, so a quick refresher on SQL and Excel basics is sensible if the posting mentions data work.
The wait is the hard part. The Business Analyst candidate heard nothing for weeks before learning they had been passed over, and the Health Solutions Analyst candidate found the outsourced scheduling disorganized. Ask about next steps at the end of each conversation, and keep applying elsewhere in the meantime.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
Candidates for analyst-adjacent roles describe a recorded first stage. The Health Solutions Analyst candidate began with a HireVue interview, and a Project Associate candidate had a recorded video interview with technical questions at a quick pace. An Associate Consultant candidate passed an online assessment before a pre-recorded video with strength-based questions.
The Business Analyst candidate's first round was a phone or video screen with HR. It covered why they were interested in Aon and a walk through their background. The questions were straightforward and centered on motivation and fit, so a clear, specific answer to why Aon is the main preparation.
The Business Analyst candidate then met the potential hiring manager and team members back-to-back on one day. Questions covered time management and handling challenges, and several were repeated across interviewers. The Health Solutions Analyst candidate had three Zoom calls of about thirty minutes, mixing business research, CRM and reinsurance basics with STAR questions.
The Health Solutions Analyst candidate's last call was with a director, who asked about aspirations, conviction in their answers and research experience. That candidate was rejected but found Aon receptive to feedback. The Business Analyst candidate waited weeks without hearing back, so asking about timing at the end of each round is worthwhile.
