The interviewer was very empathetic, making the interview enjoyable and giving me the confidence to express myself. Knowing about the company and its culture is very important. The interview lasted half an hour via video call.

The application process started with submitting a resume, cover letter, and completing some digital math and logic tests. I applied in late September and didn't hear back for about 2.5 months from SwissRE. Then came a digital interview where I had to record video answers to standardized questions. After that, I had a classical interview with two team members and an HR person. I thought I did well and answered everything, but a month later I got a very short phone call saying I wasn't moving forward, with no explanation. I wasn't invited to the final Digital Interview Center round. Overall, it was a disappointing and unprofessional experience; I wouldn't recommend it.

I applied online and then a recruiter reached out a couple of weeks later to set up a phone screen. The phone screen involved two back-to-back 30-minute interviews with two different Vice President Senior Property Actuaries. It was a really comfortable interview process because they were so nice. I got an offer a week after that.
