I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Swiss Re (Johannesburg) in May 2024
Interview
Conversational and informative. The interviewers were prepared and openly offered information about the company and role. The interview was honest and the truth about the role explained and detailed. The first rounds did not have any technical questions but more focused on me as a potential hire.
They asked fairly straightforward questions. Research topics related to your department before the interview, they will ask what you know about the field. Flexible a schedules and a good benefits

Question 1
What are 3 key words your manager would use to describe you?
First spoke to an HR individual whom asked generic questions. She provided an overview of the position, mostly what was in the posting. After that there was a video screening interview in which you are asked a series of questions and your answers are recorded via video. An in person interview followed. I found the video interview a bit nerve inducing, but manageable.
