The two reports behind this guide describe a conversational, experience-led process rather than a technical screen. Neither candidate mentioned a coding assignment or live technical challenge, so preparation is mostly about telling your own story clearly.
A candidate in the Global Analyst Program track described a quick recruiter call followed by a first round and a final round. Questions centered on the resume, past projects and work experience, with a few technical questions mixed in. The interviewers also wanted the business analysis process explained in detail, along with the responsibilities of the role. This candidate found the conversations relevant and not overly difficult, but did not hear back after following up and did not receive an offer.
A Senior Business Analyst candidate described a relaxed first conversation with the hiring manager about what they knew about Fiserv, their strengths and weaknesses, and their prior related experience. A second interview with the hiring manager's manager kept the same approachable tone. The offer came through, though the wait after the final round was longer than expected.
To prepare, choose two or three projects from your resume and be ready to say what you owned, who the stakeholders were and what changed as a result. Practice describing how you move from a business need to a clear set of requirements. Have a concise view of what Fiserv does and a straight answer on strengths and areas to develop. Because follow-up was slow in both accounts, ask about timing at the end of each conversation.
