Interviewed Jan 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took 4+ weeks)
I was interviewed by five people including one person from human resources, one person from compliance and three people from management. The questions were fair and related to both my personal and professional background. I enjoyed being interviewed by the human resource person, the compliance person and two of the managers. However I was uncomfortable being interviewed by the lead manager. He appeared impatient and interrupted me while I spoke.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Management would not negotiate even though the human resources person intially told me that management would be open to negotiating my contract. For those considering an offer understand that Guardian will not negotiate and that management is inflexible to agent requests.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a Group/Panel Interview and a Background Check.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
I went to ASNY 2011 and got a call back for an interview session from HR. I went through 4 interview sessions, each 1 on 1. The first is with the HR staff, and the other 3 sessions were with the Actuarial Staff from different teams. They were very nice and friendly. Unlike most HRs from other companies, this HR was very efficient in getting back to me within 1.5 week, even if it was a negative reply.

Interviewed May 2009 in New York, NY (took a day)
Applied online and got a call back pretty quickly. Met with HR rep briefly and then had a 1 hour+ interview with hiring manager. Good conversation and covered the job duties well but it's early in the process.
