Candidates describe the DXC Technology Data Analyst interview as conversational, but the shape differs from person to person. Reports range from two rounds (a recruiter or hiring-manager chat, then a technical round) to a three-round path with an aptitude test, a group discussion and an interview. One candidate described several panel rounds followed by a late HR round. Most describe a friendly tone and say they were not drilled on obscure algorithms.
The technical content depends on the interviewer. One candidate was asked about SQL window functions and joins, plus Power BI and Python pandas. Another was asked about advanced Excel and Power BI relationships, keys, pipelines and triggers, and did not receive an offer. Others report basic Java, SQL and relational database questions, a prime number program, and Java, Python and Linux fundamentals.
Project storytelling comes up repeatedly. Candidates describe being asked to walk through a project they were proud of, explain their own contribution, or talk through resume projects. One senior candidate was also asked why a tool such as CyberArk matters in an organization. Behavioral questions, including how to handle stress, appeared in later panel rounds for one candidate.
Outcomes were mixed: three reports ended in an offer and three did not. The candidates without offers still described their conversations as positive or smooth, so the reports give no clear sign of what separated them. Prepare to explain data models and queries you have actually built, and revise SQL and your BI tool basics.

Real interview reports from people who went through the Dxc Technology process.
The process was straightforward and moved fast. I had two back-to-back 30-minute rounds: one with a technical person and another with a technical manager. Both interviewers opened with a simple 'tell me about yourself in brief' question to get oriented. The conversations were professional but relaxed—no tricks or adversarial questioning. The interviewers were knowledgeable and seemed genuinely interested in understanding my background and fit for the role. One round focused more on technical capabilities while the other was with a manager who was assessing both skills and cultural fit. The whole process, from initial contact to final interviews, was efficient and well-organized. They were responsive, and feedback came back quickly. Despite clearing both rounds and having what felt like positive conversations, I didn't receive an offer. It was a bit surprising given how smoothly things went, but the experience itself was professional and respectful. I walked away feeling like I'd had a genuine conversation rather than being grilled on obscure technical trivia.
Prep tip from this candidate
While the open-ended behavioral questions were straightforward, the technical round clearly mattered. Prepare concrete examples of your analytical work and be ready to discuss technical depth—the fact that they had both a technical person and a technical manager in separate rounds suggests they weight hands-on competency heavily.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
Candidates typically report an opening conversation with a recruiter, talent acquisition agent or HR about their background, education and availability. One candidate said the HR round came late in a multi-panel process, so the order may vary by team and level.
One candidate who applied through the careers portal describes an aptitude test with reasoning and basic problem-solving, followed by a group discussion before the interview. Other candidates did not mention these stages, so they may not apply to every hire.
Several candidates describe a hiring-manager round that begins with a self-introduction and a walkthrough of a recent project, internship or resume items. The tone was reported as friendly. Expect to explain your own contribution and how you approached the problem.
Technical questions vary by interviewer. Candidates report SQL window functions and joins, Power BI relationships, keys, pipelines and triggers, advanced Excel, and basic Java, Python, Linux or relational database concepts. One was asked to write a prime number program. Live coding was not described in every report.
Some candidates describe a final or later conversation with management or panels. Topics reported include team fit, growth, handling stress, and approaches to typical workplace challenges. One candidate reported long waits between stages, while others described the process as quick.
