Interviewed Mar 2012 (took 1+ week)
Very easygoing interview, not intimidating, mix of behavioral and situational questions, seems like a good place to take up work with. Would have accepted the offer, but in the same week I received a better offer in pay in the field I wanted. If I did not, I surely would have been working for New York Life. The interview time schedule was quick and to the point, there wasn't much time wasted.

Interviewed Mar 2010 (took 3 weeks)
I applied online and received an email about a week later wanting to set up an interview. I went to the interview and interviewed with an HR. She was very nice and asked the usual behavioral interview questions. Two days after the interview I received a call from the same interviewer asking to set up another interviewer. This time I interviewed with the regional manager and asked more basic behavioral questions as well as why I wanted to intern there. After the interview I took a computerized skills/personality test. The manager then asked if I would have any problems show up on my background check for which I told him no. A few days later I got a call saying the background check came back good and he extended the offer, which I took.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in New York, NY (took 3 days)
First there was a simple HR interview such asked me about my resume. They made sure that I knew what the job required of me, all in all the HR interview was very simple and just a "screening" process. The second interview I had was with the hiring manager and his manager. They asked me specific questions about my resume, the past experiences that I had and about my schooling. Then they asked me what I thought was my weakest characteristic, a difficult time I had with a group and how I resolved it, and other questions along those lines.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 1 week)
Phone interview followed by a phone interview in Spanish. The process was very quick. I went through an agency so they were in contact with me earlier in the day and then I interviewed with New York Life that same afternoon. The English interview was followed 10 minutes later by a Spanish interview. They pretty much discussed the position and then had me tell them in Spanish what we had discussed and asked if I had any questions.

Interviewed May 2010 in Philadelphia, PA (took a day)
The interview was pretty simple. I spoke to an insurance agent (not a recruiter, I got the interview through a mutual friend) and it was quite brief. He introduced himself to me, explained a little bit about the position and what I would be doing, and asked if I had any questions. After I asked a few of my questions, I was asked to take an assessment test to determine if my personality or what not was what they were looking for. However, they did not and were on the borderline between a 2nd interview and a pass. But being that my interviewer was a fellow alumni from the same high school, and because I had strong connections to my community, he offered a 2nd interview and a take home self assessment.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Prior to the interview, I had already done my research on New York Life. While they are a great company, reading about how the start up in the company was not for me. I've read that hours of cold calling to sell insurance was required. I also read that you were also charged for basic business expenditures, since once you become an agent it is like running your own business. Quotas had to be met and you work largely on commission. After finding this out, I have already decided that the position was not for me, but went to the interview for the experience and because it was set up through the mutual friend. This position wasn't for me, but if someone was willing to put the hard work into it, they might enjoy the challenge.

Interviewed Jul 2010 (took 3 weeks)
I met a recruiter at a career fair. Afterward, I had 3 interviews with the company. The recruiter seemed to be a little too friendly sometimes. Overall, the interview process was fine, but they are a little vague in terms of compensation. They have a very complicated compensation structure that is hard to understand in one sitting. They also are somewhat vague in saying whether or not you are actually hired. They ask you, "Does this sound like something you'd like to do" a million times. You are also expected to complete insurance classes and pass before doing real work with the company. Another reason for why they say you are "technically hired". If you don't pass the classes it's obvious that you won't continue doing work with the company. Also, from what I understood I was going to have to pay for the classes to get certified.
The office is very nice and the other people in the office seemed friendly but I felt like you didn't need to know much in order to actually get through the interview process.
