The interview was straightforward with simple questions. They wanted to see if I knew my resume well and if I had a good grasp of P and FM concepts, along with basic insurance knowledge like what premiums are and how insurance companies operate generally. It was mostly technical, involving explaining a project from my resume, P questions, and a few behavioral ones.
