Initial phone interview with hiring manager and a fellow business analyst. This was followed by face to face interview in 2 hour long process involving pre-work to prepare and demonstrate key skills in running a workshop. The actualy interview was competency based questions looking for STAR responses.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What tools and techniques do you use to breakdown stories?
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BBC (Salford, North West England, England) in May 2023
Interview
Excellent. Very organised and well structured. Got the rest of the team involved to answer day to day questions. They asked all the right questions and listened very well, let you speak and got the point quickly without waffling. Honest about the role and the nature of the job.
I applied online. I interviewed at BBC in Jan 2022
Interview
Competency-based interview for 1,5 h
Extremely negative experience as company didn't find time to notify about the results of the interview (2 weeks after interview and still no response)
It also took months for the company to even come to me after CV submission.
Overall impression is that company looks for a person who is 'jack of all trades', competent in data analysis business and system analysis and also being product owner for several dev teams working with senior product manager in the stream.
Really disappointed that such a reputable company at the first sight appeared to be so unorganised and having such poor processes of hiring people.

Interview
Very tough. 3 panel interview with lot of question on Business analysis flow, BABOK based ones, also many were related to agile, product owner specific questions as well. Good to read the BABOK continuosly two times and then find the slot or else it will be very tough to manage the interview process
