Initial Assessments
Candidates typically start with online assessments that include aptitude tests and psychometric evaluations, which serve as a preliminary filter before moving on to interviews.
Real, anonymous reports from people who interviewed for Business Analyst at dentsu, newest first and distilled into what to expect across the loop.
I started with a recruiter-style screening that quickly moved into a structured assessment flow. Before any interviews, I went through an online aptitude test covering general quant/aptitude plus an English component, followed by a psychometric assessment. Then there was an articulation round where I had to speak on an on-the-spot topic.
My process ran through multiple elimination-style stages and stretched across several rounds. I first had aptitude and psychometric screens, then there was a communication-oriented round before I moved into the more technical parts.

The interview process generally consists of multiple rounds, including an HR screening, technical interviews focused on problem-solving and math, and behavioral assessments, with each round acting as an elimination stage.
Behavioral interviews emphasize understanding candidates' past experiences and personal strengths, often using open-ended questions to gauge fit and authenticity rather than just technical skills.
Candidates have reported mixed experiences regarding communication from HR, with some feeling left in the dark about their application status, especially after final interviews.
The interview atmosphere tends to be interactive and conversational, encouraging candidates to engage actively rather than simply respond to questions, which can help ease tension.
While some candidates received timely offers, others expressed frustration over a lack of feedback or closure after their interviews, which can leave a negative impression of the overall process.
