Johnson & Johnson Business Analyst interviews reported by candidates were short and mostly behavioral: an HR or manager conversation on motivation and background, with one report adding Excel, CRM and a poster design task.

Process Length
Two candidates describe Johnson & Johnson interviews that were conversational rather than technical, and the formats differed enough that it makes sense to prepare for either. One candidate had a single phone interview of roughly 20-30 minutes with a manager. It covered a self-introduction, relevant background, and why this role and why J&J. The tone was professional but relaxed, there were no curveballs, and the candidate did not receive an offer.
The other candidate, whose role was labeled Strategy & Ops, describes a fuller path. An HR round covered a self-introduction, motivation for the company, and expected salary. A line-manager round then turned practical, with questions on previous work, a CRM-related question, Excel, and a poster design task the candidate found unexpected for a business-focused role. A third round was expected, but the process stopped after the line manager left the company, and no offer followed.
The clearest takeaway is to make your motivation specific. Know the J&J Credo and be ready to connect your interest to the company and the medical field. Then be ready to describe how you have actually used Excel and CRM tools, with concrete examples rather than general claims. With only two reports, treat the longer format as a possibility, not a given.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
One candidate reports a first round with HR covering a self-introduction, why they wanted J&J, and expected salary. It was described as neutral and fairly standard. Prepare a concise personal summary, a motivation answer tied to the company and the medical field, and a salary expectation you can state.
Both candidates report speaking with a manager. One had a single phone interview of about 20-30 minutes covering self-introduction, relevant background, and why this role and J&J. The conversation was direct and conversational, so grounded examples from your own experience matter more than a polished pitch.
The candidate with the longer process reports that the line-manager round included questions on previous work, a CRM-related question, Excel, and a poster design task. The questions were not especially hard but required evidence of real tool use. Be ready to explain how you used these tools and what came of it; the other report did not mention them.
One candidate expected a third round, but the process ended after the line manager left, and no offer followed. The other heard a decision within a few days after a single conversation, also without an offer. Since the reported formats varied, ask your recruiter early which stages to expect.
