I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Munich Re in Aug 2025
Interview
Contacted by a headhunter to apply. Total 4 rounds, the 1st (with Talent Acquisition Lead) and 2nd (with hiring manager) round on the same day back-to-back and the 3rd (with a senior actuary on the team) and 4th round (with one senior actuary and one manager from other teams at the same time) on the same day back-to-back. Got the offer in a week after completing all the interviews and accepted the offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Behavioral questions like asking experience working with other teams and dealing with conflicts;
2. Modeling questions like how to build a pricing model from scratch and how to evaluate models;
3. Data science related questions like commonly used Python packages and details of tech stacks in my previous projects;
4. One question that stood out and asked by multiple interviewers: "How do you explain technical details to non-technical person"

I applied online. I interviewed at Munich Re (Princeton, NJ)
Interview
First I applied online. Then I was contacted by Human Resources to set up the first interview. Interviewed with the manager (Hiring Manager) and Senior Actuary. Then I got a call back to set up the second round interview and spoke with HR in between about more logistical questions (i.e., would I move to work with the company), my salary expectations, and HR explained the health benefits. The second round interview was a two-part case study.
Dear candidate,
Thank you for your evaluation of your interview as an Actuary with us. We are sorry to hear that you have declined our offer. If you have any further feedback on our application process or any other comments, please do not hesitate to contact our HR department.
We wish you all the best for your future career.
Warm regards, The Munich Re HR Team
