Bally's Interactive Business Analyst Interview Questions
& Process

I had an interview with HR, then the hiring manager, then I did a case study presentation about the gambling market, and finally, I interviewed with the chief of staff and the head of insights.

I applied online using a short form and uploading my CV. The first step was a phone call where they gave me an overview of the company and the role, explaining why the position was open. They also asked about my past jobs and my grasp of the key skills needed. Next, I had an in-person interview where I was asked to prepare a brief review and suggest improvements for one of their products. The interview itself had four staff members. It felt pretty relaxed and friendly, which put me at ease. Even though there were a lot of them, I didn't feel intimidated. They went over my previous work experience and then asked specific questions about my project involvement to check my skills and knowledge for the job. This was followed by a quick whiteboard session where I had to think on my feet and analyze a task. Towards the end, I got to ask questions and received really honest answers about the job and the work area. The whole interview took about 1.5 hours. There was some waiting time between the interviews and hearing back, with the whole process taking around 6 weeks, but HR kept me updated, which was good. This was followed by a background check.

I applied online and HR gave me a call for a telephone interview. It was pretty chill, mostly about my CV, background, and some general stuff about me, gaming and gambling. Then I got an SQL test. It was moderately tough but fun, even though SQL wasn't essential for the job. I sent it back and got a call the same day asking me to come in for an interview the next day at their London office. Two analysts interviewed me. They knew their stuff and were nice about it. We talked about what I know about Gamesys and gaming, kind of like the HR chat. Then they asked how I found the SQL test and a bunch of questions based on behavioral competencies. I thought it went well, but a few days later they emailed saying I was overqualified, which was weird since I'm a recent grad. I really wanted this job, and if it wasn't a good fit, I wouldn't have applied. My CV is clear, and it felt like a waste of time to go through the whole process just to be told that. Companies want degrees and experience, but when you have it and aren't super young, it's a catch-22, especially when trying to switch careers. Congrats to whoever got the job; it seems like a great place to work.
