Two candidates describe Business Analyst interviews at CVS Health, and the processes looked quite different. One went through four rounds: a recruiter phone screen, a technical round, a behavioral round and a conversation with a senior manager. The other had two conversations with different managers and received an offer email a few days after the final interview.
The technical round in the four-round account had no live coding and focused on SQL knowledge. The candidate was asked about the different types of aggregations in SQL, and later felt they could have been sharper there. Being able to explain aggregation concepts in plain terms is a sensible way to prepare. That candidate also said that explaining technical information to non-technical audiences came up and clearly mattered.
Behavioral questions appeared in both accounts. Topics included prior work experience, what the candidate wanted from the role, why CVS Health, and which parts of past workplaces they had enjoyed. One interviewer used the STAR method to ask about solving a problem with a team. Prepare a few structured stories with clear results, plus a genuine answer on why CVS Health.
Both candidates described the interviewers as easy to talk to. One ended with no offer and the other with an offer, and the formats differed, so ask your recruiter what each round will cover.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
The candidate who described four rounds began with a phone screening with a recruiter. It was straightforward and helped the recruiter understand their background before moving forward, and the recruiter was responsive. Prepare a short summary of your experience and why you want the role.
In the same account, the technical round had no live coding and focused on SQL knowledge. The candidate was asked about the various types of aggregations in SQL. They also prepared for questions about communicating technical information to non-technical audiences, which came up and seemed important.
Both candidates described behavioral questions. The four-round candidate had a dedicated scenario-based round and found specific situations, actions and results essential. The two-round candidate was asked about prior experience, goals for the role, why CVS Health, workplace culture and a time solving a problem with a team.
The four-round candidate finished with a senior manager conversation that felt like culture and fit, and did not receive an offer. The two-round candidate spoke with two different managers and received an offer email a few days after the final interview.
