The clearest Data Analyst account comes from a candidate who went through a screening, a technical assessment, recorded video answers and hiring-manager interviews. The technical piece centered on Excel and accounting fundamentals such as journals, financial statements, cash flow and dividends. The video round had seven questions with a strict three-minute limit per answer, mostly about why the role, why Aon and working style. Hiring managers then asked about industry knowledge, past experience, why diversification matters in investing and how the candidate would approach data preparation. That candidate did not receive an offer.
Two further reports are filed under the broader title Analyst, so treat them as context on Aon's interview style rather than as a Data Analyst loop. One candidate had an HR screen on background, goals and salary expectations, then waited about two months before meeting two members of the hiring team for behavioral questions on working with different personalities, taking ownership of a project and naming a hero. No offer followed. The other did a video interview with about two minutes to prepare and two to three minutes to answer, with one redo allowed, and was asked about current pay. A later virtual conversation with several people covered past experience and the hardest part of the role. That candidate negotiated salary and benefits but then stopped hearing back.
For preparation, refresh Excel and basic accounting, write tight three-minute answers on why Aon and why this role, and decide in advance how you will respond to pay questions. Plan for slow communication between stages.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
The Data Analyst candidate describes an initial screening, and an Analyst candidate describes an HR call on background, career goals and salary expectations. That Analyst candidate says the next stage came about two months later, so waits between stages can be long.
The Data Analyst candidate was tested on Excel proficiency and accounting fundamentals, including journals, financial statements, cash flow statements and practical scenarios around dividends. The other two reports do not describe a technical stage.
The Data Analyst candidate recorded answers to seven questions, each capped at three minutes, on why the role, why Aon and working style. An Analyst candidate describes about two minutes to prepare, two to three minutes to answer, one redo, and a question about current pay.
The Data Analyst candidate met hiring managers who asked about industry knowledge, past experience, diversification and data preparation. Analyst candidates describe meeting two hiring team members, or several people virtually, about different personalities, ownership, a hero and the hardest part of a past role.
