Candidates describe the MetLife Business Analyst interview as conversational, with the substance in two areas: behavioral project stories and knowledge of MetLife's business. Reports are limited, so treat the details below as examples rather than a fixed format.
One candidate who received an offer described four rounds: a recruiter phone screen, a video call with a senior consultant, a video panel including an HR consultant and other stakeholders, and a final conversation with a Regional Vice President that moved online because of weather. In that account, translating business requirements into technical logic was a recurring theme, and the "why MetLife" question depended on understanding the health insurance and customer service space.
Another candidate, who did not receive an offer, reported several phone interviews followed by an in-person meeting with two department managers, all within about a month of applying. The discussion moved from previous responsibilities and a recent project into MetLife's financial systems and support scenarios for different user types. That candidate felt underprepared on the technology and operating model.
A third candidate, who received an offer, described a recruiter screen and then a hiring-manager interview. The questions covered a resume walkthrough, a successful team project and personal contribution, a failure and what was learned, and how they stay current in their field.
To prepare, write out two or three project stories using clear steps for how you start work and turn requirements into specifications. Practice a failure story, such as a data project that did not go as expected. Then review MetLife's products and customer-facing portals so your "why us" answer is specific.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
Candidates report starting with a recruiter phone screen. In one account it covered background and why the role appealed; another described detailed email contact with the recruiter first. Be ready to summarize your experience and explain why you want MetLife.
Candidates report a more substantive conversation next, either with a hiring manager or a senior consultant. Reported questions included walking through a resume, describing a typical day, explaining how you start a project from beginning to end, describing a team project and your contribution, a past failure, and how you stay current in your field.
One candidate described a video panel with an HR consultant and other stakeholders, where behavioral questions dominated. Translating business requirements into technical logic reportedly came up as a key theme. Prepare concrete examples of past situations and be ready to explain how you approached them.
Final conversations varied. One candidate expected an in-person Regional Vice President meeting, which moved online, and was asked why MetLife appealed. Another met two department managers in person and faced technical questions about financial systems and support for different user types. Prepare for both fit and domain depth.
