Candidates describe quite different Eaton Data Analyst interviews, so prepare for both the tooling and the business. One candidate who received an offer reported a day that began with a group discussion, followed by a technical round and then an HR round. That technical round leaned on mechanical engineering knowledge, including a question about the main components of a steering wheel, rather than SQL or typical analytics topics. Their advice was to understand the company's business deeply and what you would actually be analyzing day to day.
A different candidate described three rounds that were much more tool-focused. The first was a technical round on SQL, Power BI and past work. In the face-to-face round they were given a dataset, asked to build a dashboard for a business audience and then explain the key insights out loud while presenting. They also fielded hypothetical questions about approaching an analysis from scratch and were asked to define a null hypothesis. The last round was HR and behavioral, and this candidate received an offer.
A third candidate, who did not receive an offer, reported an opening "tell me about yourself" followed by a request to go deeper on their experiences. Little else about that process was shared.
In practice, have a tight personal introduction, be ready to defend the details of each project on your resume, practice narrating a Power BI dashboard, and review basic statistics definitions. Also build a working understanding of Eaton's business and what the data you would analyze day to day might describe.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
Candidates report different openings. One began with a group discussion, and another began with "tell me about yourself" followed by a request for more detail on their experiences. Prepare a concise background summary and be ready to expand on one or two specific projects, since follow-ups may probe the details behind your resume.
One candidate reported a technical round covering SQL, Power BI and past work experience. Another reported technical questions focused on mechanical engineering, such as the components of a steering wheel, rather than standard analytics. The focus may vary, so prepare tool skills and a basic understanding of Eaton's business.
One candidate was given a dataset in a face-to-face round and asked to build a dashboard for a business audience. They then presented the key insights to the interviewers. They also reported hypothetical analysis-approach questions and a basic definition of a null hypothesis. Practice explaining findings aloud as well as building the visuals.
Two candidates mention a final HR stage. One described it as behavioral, and the other as straightforward and less intense than the technical portion. Typically this is a good place to prepare motivation for the role, examples of teamwork and an understanding of Eaton's business.
