ValueMomentum Business Analyst Interview Questions
& Process

So I had 3 rounds of interviews for this Business Analyst role. The first two rounds were focused on my domain knowledge and past experience. Then there was a face-to-face interview to assess my fit for the team. I passed all three, which took about 3 weeks. After that, they told me the position was on hold. They kept delaying it for about a week at a time. Finally, they scheduled an HR round. The HR person started negotiating the salary like at a market. They brought up the budget at the beginning, and then in the HR round, they offered a package lower than my previous salary. The HR tried to make me accept a low package, even though they seemed to have the budget. They used various tactics to get me to accept a lower salary. I declined the offer because the budget they initially mentioned didn't align with the salary they offered after I cleared all three interview rounds and waited for five weeks.

The interview process was quite simple. The first step involved a meeting with the business manager to discuss domain knowledge and how projects were implemented. After that, I had a direct conversation with HR regarding salary negotiations.

So the hiring process here has 3 rounds. First, we had this group discussion thing. If you speak at least twice fluently in English with valid points, you move to a written test. That test has 40 aptitude questions. You need to get at least 25 right to move on to the personal interview. In the personal interview, they asked me why I want to be a business analyst, what a business analyst does in a company, and what I know about value momentum. They mostly asked questions from my resume. Since business analyst is pretty non-technical, they want someone who will stay with them long-term. So they check if you're good at coding. If you are, they might think you'll leave for a software developer job. So, if you want this job, tell them you don't know coding and are only meant for the business analyst role.
