The Leidos Business Analyst interview we have on record is one in-person visit in DC, and it came in two parts. The candidate was placed in a group of four and given a case study to discuss for about 30 minutes, then the group presented it to the interviewers. After that came an individual behavioral interview with two interviewers who had the candidate's resume in front of them.
The behavioral questions focused on how the candidate had worked with different people on projects, along with budgets, timelines and group work. Agile requirements gathering and scrum came up directly, and the interviewers wanted to hear that the candidate understood the business analyst side of the job, not just general teamwork. There was also a light technical question about how to use VLOOKUP in Excel. The candidate called the overall feel more resume- and experience-based than algorithmic, said the panel format made it harder to build momentum, and did not receive an offer or any feedback.
This is a single account, so treat it as one data point rather than a fixed format. Leidos business analyst openings typically stress eliciting needs, documenting requirements and working with agile teams, which fits the questions above. Prepare two or three concrete project stories covering requirements, stakeholders, budget and schedule. Practice speaking up early in a group discussion without talking over others, and refresh basic Excel lookup functions.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
The candidate was placed in a group of four and given a case study to discuss for about 30 minutes. Because it is a shared exercise, expect to be judged on how you contribute: speak up early, structure your thinking and work with the other candidates instead of competing with them.
After the discussion, the group presented the case to the interviewers. The candidate was in the room with several people at once, which made the setting feel crowded. Prepare to summarize a recommendation clearly and briefly, and to share the presenting with your group.
Two interviewers with the candidate's resume asked about working with different people, budgets, timelines and group work. They also asked about Agile requirements gathering and scrum, and how to use VLOOKUP in Excel. Prepare specific project examples and be ready to explain your approach to requirements in plain terms.
