Oracle's Business Analyst interviews don't follow one script, so the most useful preparation is knowing what individual candidates actually ran into. The clearest account of structure comes from a candidate who described five rounds in total, starting with a HackerRank aptitude and coding test and moving into live rounds that mixed business, finance, SQL and Java. That candidate was asked about trading workflows and basic accounting, including whether depreciation is an operating or non-operating item, plus Java questions such as heap memory, and was stopped after getting through two rounds.
A second Business Analyst candidate, interviewing for a finance and business management analyst role, got questions on forecasting versus budgeting and was asked for time-management examples. A pre-screening call before that covered behavioral prompts such as overcoming adversity.
Behavioral readiness shows up in several accounts. One candidate said the HR questions followed a PDF Oracle sent ahead of time about company traits and the job description, asking for three personal traits, why consulting, and a challenge overcome at work. Read any materials you receive closely.
One candidate also described uneven logistics, including a multi-person Zoom interview where not everyone showed up, so ask about next steps at the end of each conversation.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
One Business Analyst candidate began with an online aptitude and coding test on HackerRank before any live interview. They then moved into rounds that mixed business, finance, SQL and Java, so the test is best treated as the first filter in a broader fundamentals check.
Business Analyst candidates describe recruiter calls and HR interviews up front. One was asked for three personal traits, why consulting and a workplace challenge, with questions tied to a PDF sent in advance. Another had a pre-screening call on overcoming adversity, and a recruiter call of about 25 minutes.
In one report the first live round was a background and fit conversation. The interviewers wanted to know whether the candidate was comfortable in a trading or financial domain, and they discussed basic trading systems, workflows and what the candidate wanted from the role.
The same candidate described technical rounds that stayed at a fundamentals level: whether depreciation is operating or non-operating, Java topics such as heap memory, and a round combining SQL and Java. The candidate described them as screening for basics and domain familiarity rather than advanced problem-solving.
A finance-focused Business Analyst candidate was asked how forecasting differs from budgeting and for time-management examples from past projects. One multi-person Zoom interview felt disorganized because not everyone showed up and there were scheduling issues.
