Consultant at CNA
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Nov 2011 – Reviewed Dec 7, 2011
Interview Details – I briefly interviewed with one of their recuiters on the phone then within a week interviewed with four of the department heads in one afternoon. They followed up a few days later with an offer. The process was quick and easy. I found the process pleasant and the managers were professional and polite. Be prepared to ask alot of questions since you will be sitting down with alot of people.

Underwriting Specialist at CNA
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Jan 2011 – Reviewed Jan 27, 2011
Interview Details –
The interview process was very laid back, I was expecting hard technical questions but received none (that said, my educational background is very strong and this was reflected in my resume).
I felt they were looking for someone with good technical skills, educational background and that was a good personality match for the rest of the team.
Interview Questions
- Tell me about yourself. Answer Question
- Why are you interested in this position? Answer Question
Negotiation Details – There were no negotiations that took place. They asked me my desired during the initial phone screening – I told them what I wanted and it never came up again. When I got my written offer it was just slightly above what I asked for so that was nice.

Claims at CNA
No Offer – Interviewed in May 2010 – Reviewed Jul 27, 2010
Interview Details – After going through two rounds of interviews with CNA for a claims position, I was never given the courtesy of a telephone call, letter or email to notify me that the company decided to offer the job to someone else. I think it is incredibly unprofessional that the HR department failed to timely follow up with me. I also think it's incredibly unprofessional to fail to contact a job seeker who made it to the final rounds of interviews to let him or her know of the outcome. Further, the interview process was incredibly disorganized, with HR scheduling my second round of interviews without first checking with me to see if I had availability on that particular date. I was scheduled to be out of town on the date that CNA wanted me to come in for my second round of interviews and CNA was not accomodating when I requested that the interview be rescheduled. Simply put, the interview process was disorganized and handled in an unprofessional manner.
