Interviewed Feb 2010 in Austin, TX (took a day)
You sit outside the office with other interviewees in a job fair like setting. One by one they will call you back and you will take different computer tests. A typing test, grammar test, and analytical skills test. Once you've scored high enough they will take you back and you will have an interview with the manager of the department you're applying to. After that, they have you meet with the Manager/Director of the office location. If he gives his approval then you will receive an email saying you're being considered pending a fairly lengthy background check.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took a day)
I had a 1:1 interview with Marsh. The entire interview was behavioral, not even one question about my resume. The toughest question for me was "Name a time where you were on the opposite side of an issue and had to convince everyone to your side." I have yet to hear back from them, but that is because they had to "reorganize" something in HR and will let me know in a few weeks. A tough interview, but only 30 minutes long.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Milton Keynes, England (United Kingdom) (took a day)
I was head hunted for a specific role from a recruitment agency. They advised me their was a 6 mnths contract role at MMC (Milton Keynes Office) which matched my exact skill set. I was called for an interview where I was as honest and upfront as could be, they were not specific on any particular skills in general and advised they were looking for someone who had the same overall experience as myself. I was offered the job the next day, and handed in my notice to my employers at the time. I commenced work with MMC 2 weeks later and regretted accepting the role 3hrs into my initial first training. By the end of the week, I had a phone call from the team leader who is based in Witham, Essex, giving me a grilling for my time keeping and lack of experience on one of the operating systems, bearing in mind the level of experience on this system knowledge was not highlighted in the initial interview! 7 days into the role and whilst still in training, the contract was terminated by MMC. I honest think they have done me a big favour to be honest, as I had already secured myself with interview for future, potential, decent organisations.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in New York, NY (took 1 week)
I must say I was extremely excited when I received a call from Marsh for an interview. On the day of my interview, I was informed I was going to meet with two people separately. The first interview was great. I was excited about the position and the opportunities the company has. The second interview however was not great. I was completely appalled by the interviewers professionalism. At the end of the interview, the lady looked at me and said "The only concern I have about hiring you is your age," and then said "I do not need any one calling in on a Monday morning stating they had a rough weekend and couldn't make it to work." I was completely taken back by her comment. I thought it was completely inappropriate to say. Even though the second interview turned me off about that specific department, I still would have loved to work for the company.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Dallas, TX (took 3 weeks)
I applied online for the Client Advisor position. I was contacted one week later by the recruiter for a preliminary phone interview. She asked me about my experience, my responsibilities at my previous position, why I left, and why I was applying at Marsh. The phone interview went well and at the end of the conversation she let me know that she would give my information to the manager for review. She informed me of the salary and asked me if it was in my range. I really appreciated that she gave me that information up front so that there were no surprises later.
I had an in-person interview with the manager a week later. The manager asked me about my experience and my responsibilities at my previous position. She asked me to explain instances of resolution conflict at my previous job. She explained the responsibilities of the position I was interviewing for and what the day-to-day was like. The interview went well.
The recruiter scheduled a second in-person interview with the office head and zone leader. This interview was the most difficult. The zone leader asked challenging questions and asked for examples of resolution conflict at my previous employer. I had to prove why I would be a good candidate for the position and really sell myself to the zone leader.
I was contacted two days later to continue the hiring process with the recruiter which led to an offer.
Overall the experience was enjoyable. I am very happy with my new position and highly recommend interviewing with Marsh. It was by far the most professional and most challenging interview process I have experienced. Many companies could learn a lot from the Marsh interview process.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
The recruiter and I agreed to a salary that I could accept but wasn't completely satisfied with. They had a tight salary window that was difficult to negotiate. The recruiter came back with a slightly higher salary for the final offer that I really appreciated.
My advice is to be willing to negotiate but be up front and honest if you're not totally satisfied. I didn't play hardball and in the end the recruiter helped me out.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in New York, NY (took 2 weeks)
I interviewed with the HR Manager for this specific department and she felt I was a great fit for this position. So within two days I interview with the Managing Director. I was not what he needed because of my lack of international travel experience.
