Had a 30-minute video interview with two previous interns, one actuarial student and one a bit higher up. They mostly asked questions based on my resume. It felt more like a conversation since the interviewers shared their thoughts on my answers.

Behavioral Technical
I had four interviews back-to-back, taking up about 2 hours on the same day. All the interviews were quite pleasant. The first was with HR, covering general topics. The second was with an actuary who asked some technical questions, though they weren't super detailed. This was the only actuary who asked technical questions; the others were more open-ended and covered general/behavioral topics. The third interview was with a newer actuary who is part of the student program, and it felt very relaxed. The final interview was with the director of the intern student program. She was very friendly and very receptive to any questions I had. My main advice is to prepare a good number of thoughtful questions, showing you've put some serious thought into the field and are genuinely interested.
