MEMIC Interview Questions
& Process

I had a pretty standard interview, but the HR person was new and it made the conversation a bit awkward. They also seemed unprepared, not being able to answer some basic questions I had about the job. They even thanked me for asking those questions because they'd have to go back to the hiring team for answers. I think a more experienced interviewer would have made things smoother.

I applied for a job at this company but didn't get it. A few weeks later, the recruiter contacted me about a different role. I was pleased they followed up and offered me another chance. Since I'd already spoken with the recruiter for the first job, I skipped that step and went straight to interviewing with the department managers. They were really friendly and the interview wasn't too hard. Overall, I had a really good interview experience and am looking forward to working there.

It was basic and generic questions. The recruiter I spoke to seemed new or just unsure how to have a basic conversation it was very strange. The reason I’m leaving a review is because she assured me they would reach out in a day or two for next steps and it’s now been 3 weeks without any communication. Obviously I didn’t get the job, but if someone takes the time to fill out the application, write a cover letter, submit their resume, and take time out of their day to interview the VERY least they can do is send an email saying they are moving forward with other candidates. I’ll be sure to tell others not to bother with this company.

They advertised the application as "underwriting trainee" when the actual position is for "account analyst" because the underwriting trainee position doesn't exist at MEMIC. The recruiter said they do it to get more people to apply. I lost quite a lot of interest in the job after I heard that. It seemed that to become an actual underwriter would take a few years and is at least 3 promotions away. The only good from the interview was they were upfront about the salary, which was $40,000 in this case. Seemed pretty low, there are better paying jobs out there. This job posting has been up for a long time, and it would appear they have issues hiring people as they have many other postings as well. I would suggest that they not false advertise a job that like as it turns many of us away. Also, the phone interview was nearly an hour long and asked very repetitive, sometimes, weird questions.
