      Application

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at The Standard in Dec 2014

      Interview

      Applied online in September, received call back for 30-minute phone interview two weeks before Thanksgiving. Phone interview focused on behavioral questions and only briefly touched technical matters. Call for final interview at Portland office came Tuesday before Thanksgiving, scheduled for early December. Final interview was 4 hours, encompassing 11 people, before having two people for lunch. Interview questions matched those posted here pretty closely, focusing on teamwork and experience dealing with difficult situations. Surprisingly, almost no technical questions, and only a few on technological/computational experience; no actuarial questions.

      Question 1

      Tell me about a time when you were given a role you did not want, and how you handled the position.

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at The Standard

      Interview

      It took a month to hear back and have an interview scheduled, even though the posting said they were reviewing resumes the same week I applied. The interview was all behavioral questions with an HR person and it wasn't too bad. I heard back 2 weeks later that after all that they had cancelled the position.
