Behavioral Technical
It started with some ice breakers, then an introduction that included a background check. After that, I had a fit interview and a technical interview. Finally, there were some questions and answers. It was all done over Microsoft Teams via live video.

It was a quick process, the whole thing took about a week. There were 2 interviews. The first one was with the lead actuarial analyst from the team. Then the second interview was with the head brokers of the division and some other senior actuaries. The interviews were tough, but the interviewers were really approachable and friendly, and they gave feedback super quickly.

The interviewers were really nice and approachable. The company has some seriously smart actuaries. They asked some challenging questions, but they were helpful and gave me pointers. The process was pretty simple: I had one HireVue self-recorded video interview and then three Zoom interviews with six different actuaries.
