Candidates describe Grayce's Data Analyst and Graduate Data Analyst interviews as a mix of analytical work and client-facing judgment. All three describe an early Teams or phone conversation, then a later stage built around a presentation or case study.
One graduate candidate prepared a presentation on a supplied dataset, but the final interviewer asked little about the analysis. The questions went to handling client complaints and difficult situations and to their programming experience. Another graduate candidate describes a roughly 30-minute second stage with a short self-introduction presentation and a case study. They were also asked how they would tell a client they needed more time, plus standard "tell me about a time when..." questions on teamwork and pressure.
The Data Analyst candidate describes the strongest commercial awareness emphasis. They were asked to discuss recent news and its effect on different industries, and to give an example of a company transformed by data. They also report a data analysis exercise prepared in advance and then presented, along with later stages involving a delivery manager and a prospective client.
Two of the three candidates were rejected. In practice, build a concise presentation and be ready to explain your method. Rehearse two or three client-communication stories, and keep a current business-news example ready that links data to a decision. Be ready to describe your programming experience plainly. Because these are individual accounts, expect the format to vary by track and interviewer.

Real interview reports from people who went through the Grayce process.
I applied for a Graduate Data Analyst role at Grayce and went through a multi-stage interview process. The first stage was a phone screening, which was quite informal and straightforward—mostly about my background and why I was interested in the role. They asked me what drew me to applying for Grayce, and it felt like a casual conversation to get to know me rather than anything intense.
The second stage was more involved. I had about 30 minutes for this round, and it consisted of two main components: I had to create a PowerPoint presentation about myself and work through a case study. The presentation part wasn't just a formality—they were clear that I shouldn't make it too lengthy, so I had to be concise and thoughtful about what I included. The case study was the more challenging element, testing how I'd approach a real analytical problem.
They also threw in some behavioral questions during the process. One that stood out was being asked how I'd handle telling a client that I needed more time because I hadn't finished the work yet—it was testing my communication skills and how I'd handle difficult conversations. There were also the standard competency-based questions about teamwork and working under pressure, framed as "tell me about a time when..." scenarios.
Unfortunately, I didn't move forward in the process. Looking back, I think I could have been better prepared for the case study portion and more polished with my presentation.
Prep tip from this candidate
Focus heavily on the case study component—practice breaking down analytical problems systematically and communicating your approach clearly in a 30-minute window. Also, prepare concise examples of handling difficult client conversations, as behavioral questions around communication challenges seem to be a key part of their evaluation.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
Candidates report an early phone or Teams conversation, scheduled about a week out in one case and lasting about 30 minutes in one report. It covers background and motivation for applying to Grayce. One candidate describes it as informal. Another reports business-awareness questions on recent news and its industry effects.
Two candidates report preparing a presentation. One built slides on a supplied dataset. The other says a data analysis exercise was presented. A third describes a short self-introduction presentation that should not run long. Expect to explain your method and your findings.
One graduate candidate describes a roughly 30-minute stage that paired a case study with behavioral questions. These covered telling a client more time was needed, teamwork and working under pressure. Format and length may differ by track, so confirm with the recruiter.
The Data Analyst candidate reports at least two stages after the first call, one with a delivery manager and one with a prospective client. A graduate candidate's final Teams interview focused on client scenarios, complaints and programming experience, with little discussion of the take-home analysis.
