Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Sun Life.
Director
I had a screening call, followed by 3 rounds of interviews with senior management. It was pretty standard q&as about my work experience. Overall, the interview process was generally easy and pleasant. Make sure to be ready with questions for them at the end of the interview.
- Can you explain your reasoning for choosing Sun Life compared to other insurance companies?
Director
The interview process began with a phone screen with the recruiter, followed by an interview with the hiring manager. Next, there was a panel interview with the team, and finally, a concluding interview with the AVP. The conversations were enjoyable, and everyone was very welcoming and warm. Although they ultimately chose another candidate for this highly competitive position, I gained valuable insights and appreciated the consistent communication from both the hiring team and the recruiter throughout the process. I never had to wait more than a week for updates, and their final rejection email was warm and professional.
- Can you share an instance where you had to unexpectedly change direction?
Director
An in-house recruiter contacted me about the role. I had an initial interview with HR that went well. A couple of weeks later, the recruiter contacted me again to say they wanted to schedule a panel interview and asked me to write a case study. I spent a few hours working on the case study and submitted it within the 2-day deadline. After that, I didn't hear anything for 3 weeks. Then I got another email saying someone would contact me to schedule the interview, but then nothing. Another week later, they told me they were going with another candidate. I guess I dodged a bullet because their hiring process was so disjointed.
- Can you introduce yourself and explain your interest in this position?
- Describe a situation where your idea faced pushback and how you handled it.
