Hewitt Associates Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – I interviewed for this job in college. I went through about three rounds of interviews and was offered the job. I was shown all around the hewitt campus in Atlanta, etc only to have the job pulled a few weeks before I was to start. I was invited to interview for them a few years down the road and the same thing happened again. I would never entertain a job from this compay. Their HR department is obviously a mess.

Negotiation Details – Offered me a job, cancelled the job offer, but did give me some compensation for it.

Interview Details – The interview was your standard type of interview. We went to one of the mini conference rooms to conduct the interview. I was interviewed by two people where as most were interviewed by one. The questions were the standard interview questions that everyone has been asked before. I was provided information and offered the job before leaving the interview. However, not all the details were revised about the position I would be starting for.

Negotiation Details – There was not negotiations made. The company has a set hourly rate given to all new employees.

Interview Details – Recruiter called with position details.

Interview Details – One phone screen with HR then one 1 hr onsite interview.

Interview Details – Overall, the hiring process was great. Management was friendly and frank. The interview was relaxed but formal enough to know that the office was run well. I had an initial phone interview and then a follow up in person interview at the office in Lincolnshire. The questions were pretty basic and predictable.

Interview Details – The entrance interview is behavioral. Promotions are handed out after you have been doing the work in the role you are promoted into. Teamwork, able to work under pressure, and issues with other employees should be done directly and professionally.

Negotiation Details – Pay is non negotiable. Paid Time Off and a Flex Schedule are your best options if they are willing to negotiate. Their first answer will always be no. Persistence pays off, as long as you project confidence.

Interview Details – HR is kinda difficult to follow; I had to "pardon" a few times to get to hear what she said. HM sounds like they know what they are doing; one of who is not actuary. They all seem interested in you and your background, ask a fair amount of questions, most of which are behavior questions that start with "tell me...". I don;t recall any technical questions; Was told that excel/assess are extensively used. Office location is nice, surrounding neighborhood is quiet and traffic-free (seems like).

Interview Details – I found the job through careerbuilder.com. Sent resume/cover letter and followed up. Huge delay due to the holidays. After christmas/new years, I was selected by recruiter for an 1-to-1 phone interview for 30 min. Asked 2 behavorial questions and she liked the response she stoped and set up the actual face to face. I met with one manager and another over the phone via conference call. They drilled down on my experiences and try to be as thorough and walk them through the process on how you came to a problem, what steps you took to analyze and then overcome.

Negotiation Details – Yes I was able to negotiate since I had a pre-existing offer from one of the top 4 banks. I was able to get them to offer 7.5% increase over base.

1. Tell me of a time when you have successfully been able to troubleshoot a technical issue?
