MetLife Consultant Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process consisted of 5 stages, involving interviews with team members and collaborators. It was a great process, mainly due to the excellent recruitment staff in the UK. My recruiter, Ryan, was very helpful and kept things moving efficiently. I was kept informed about each step, and there weren't long waits between interviews. The entire process wrapped up in about 2-3 weeks. Each interviewer clearly explained the role, the company culture, and expectations. I'm very happy with how it went; it gave a clear picture of daily operations.

So I had this interview process that was pretty wild. It started with a 15-minute call from HR where they just threw questions at me without explaining anything about the company or the role. Then, after a couple of weeks of silence, I got an email to schedule an hour-long phone call with the hiring manager. That was a bit better, I got more info about the job and the company. It was a little strange though, the hiring manager worked remotely in a different state even though this job required being in the office. They told me to follow up in a week, which I did, leaving about 3 voicemails over the course of a week. No response, so I assumed they had moved on. Then, things got even stranger. More than two weeks later, I randomly got an email from the recruiter asking me to come in for a face-to-face interview. I scheduled it, but on the morning of the interview, the recruiter called to cancel, saying they had just filled the position. Honestly, the whole process was pretty ridiculous. You hear nothing for weeks, then they suddenly want to schedule another step, only to cancel the day before. Then they want me to come in for a face-to-face interview but cancel it the morning of the interview. In the end, I got an offer, but it was a very strange process.

This interview process was quite long, spanning 5 rounds over 3 months. It started with an initial phone screen with the recruiter, followed by a phone interview with the hiring manager. Then there was a follow-up phone interview with the hiring manager and their boss. The next stage involved a face-to-face meeting with the hiring manager and a video conference with their boss. Finally, there was a follow-up phone interview with a manager from a different department. The initial screens and preliminary interviews focused on background, skills, and a resume walk-through. The later face-to-face interviews were behavioral, asking for examples like 'Tell me about a time when...'
