Two candidates describe GSK Business Analyst processes that start with an online assessment and then move into conversational rounds. Their experiences differ, so it helps to prepare for both formats.
One candidate, applying through a graduate-style route, reported a roughly 1.5-hour assessment followed by a recorded online job simulation. Each question gave about two minutes to think before the camera began recording. The prompts mixed business-case and marketing-case styles, and one asked what friends and family would say is the candidate's greatest strength. A phone call and a Teams interview followed, where the candidate was asked which skills matter most for the role. That candidate described the Teams round as uneven, depending on who was in the room.
The other candidate described an ATS-evaluated assessment focused on interest in the role and company. A recruiter video interview and a hiring manager conversation followed, both described as fairly easy. The hard part was a behavioral panel with the hiring manager and two team members. Questions covered an unreasonable customer demand, a disagreement with a manager, and urgent work colliding with planned work. The candidate recommended STAR structure and leading with impact. Both candidates reported no offer.
Practice structuring short answers aloud under a timer, and prepare a few specific stories with measurable results. Be ready to explain which skills matter most for a business analyst. Two reports are a small sample, and the sequence may vary by team or entry route.

Real interview reports from people who went through the Gsk process.
GSK’s process for the Business Analyst role started with an online assessment that was pretty straightforward and took about 1.5 hours. After that came an online job simulation that felt more demanding, since it was a virtual interview format where you get a question, have around two minutes to think, and then the camera starts recording right away. The simulation mixed in business-case style and marketing-case style prompts, so it felt less like a traditional chat and more like being put on the spot to structure your answer quickly. One of the questions I got was about what my friends and family would say my greatest strength is and why, which was more reflective than technical but still required a clear, confident answer.
After that, the process moved into a phone call and then a Teams meeting. The phone screen was fairly standard, but the Teams interview was where the experience became more uneven. I was asked what skills I considered important for the position, and the conversation seemed to depend a lot on who was in the room. One manager was kind and professional, but another came across as disengaged and not very respectful, which made the interview uncomfortable. The overall process also felt a bit disorganized, with some lack of alignment on what the role actually required. I ended up not getting an offer, and I never received a clear final update after the interviews. My main takeaway is to be ready for the online simulation format specifically, and to prepare concise examples that show your strengths and how they fit the role, since the process seems to lean heavily on both structure and communication under time pressure.
Prep tip from this candidate
Practice answering behavioral prompts in a timed, recorded format, especially questions like why others would describe you as strong in a certain area. Also be ready to explain which skills matter most for the role in a clear, structured way, since that came up directly in the phone/Teams stages.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
Both candidates report starting with an online assessment. One described it as about 1.5 hours and straightforward. The other described it as ATS-evaluated and focused on showing genuine interest in the role and company. Expect it to be a lighter filter before live conversations, though the exact content may vary.
One candidate reported an online job simulation with business-case and marketing-case style questions. They had about two minutes to think before recording began. The other reported a two-way recruiter video interview about background, current responsibilities, and how they learned about GSK. Which format you get may depend on the route you apply through.
One candidate reported a phone call followed by a Teams interview where they were asked which skills matter most for the position. They described the phone screen as fairly standard and the Teams experience as varying with the interviewers present. The other described a hiring manager interview covering interests outside work and why they fit the role, and said it was not too demanding.
One candidate reported a panel with the hiring manager and two team members, with HR nearby. It was almost entirely behavioral, covering unreasonable customer demands, disagreements with a manager, and conflicting urgent priorities. The candidate advised using STAR structure and leading with impact. This stage was reported by one candidate, so other teams may structure final rounds differently.
