I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Mercer (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2018
Interview
They reached out to me in November 2018, I had to do a HireVue interview with 7 questions. Then it was almost a full month before I heard back and they scheduled 4 30-minute in person interviews back to back, and those interviews were literally just 30 minute sessions of behavioral questions, then I had to wait 2-3 weeks for a reply. No answers to follow up emails either. The people were friendly though, just wish they were able to communicate better. None of the questions were shocking - why actuary, why mercer, clarifying things on resume. No technical questions.
Very poorly, was contacted via LinkedIn (I didn't initially applied). The interviewer missed the first scheduled call and only wrote back after 5 days. Second scheduled interview was fine. Promised to give me feedback about salary range and send me further recruitment tests. Never got any feedback, seems very unorganized
