MetLife Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – This was one of the hundreds of positions posted as the company moves to Charlotte. Applied online and received an e-mail for an in person interview over a month later. I'd already had a phone screen for another position.

I had two back to back interviews each were two person panels. Standard behavioral questions. I feel it went well overall. The interview was mid May and they intended to make a decision by the end of May (in a couple of weeks).

Im very excited at the prospect of working for MetLife. My hopes is to make this the company from which I retire.

Interview Details – Very smoothe interview followed by skills tets.

Interview Details – Initial e-mail from Recruiter 6 weeks after application. 45 min. phone screening 3 days later. Standard resume questions, but VERY detailed. E-mail from hiring manager 2 days later (I was away on vacation; not good; they want an IMMEDIATE reply), led to phone interview a week later. HM was visiting Charlotte for a week doing phone and in-person interviews in anticipation of the relo to CLT in November on his cell phone with a very bad connection. Putting together a training class to start in August, in a temporary location as facilities in Ballantyne won't be ready until mid-November at the earliest. Job description was so poorly written that I had no desire to get this job after hearing more about it. Salary range of $30-40K, call center type work. I was WAY overqualified (and, I suspect, overage. Think they want 20-somethings). Salaries are down in CLT vs. what they were in the northeast. HM seemed totally stressed out. Metlife doesn't seem to have their act together on the relo.

Interview Details – interviewed with multiple people in the same day for 1 position

Interview Details – Phone interview, 2 face to face interviews.

Interview Details – Very intense hiring process. Three interviews: phone interview, then interview with hiring manager and another person, then interviewed in front of a group of over 10 people and gave a 5 minute presentation.

Negotiation Details – No negotiation. Standard corporate offer structure: take it or leave it.

Interview Details – The interview went great got hired right on the spot due to having experience and knowing how to go on a interview.

Interview Details – Process is mess. Interviews are a breeze, basically of you act like your rich/ have rich friends and lots of community connections you're hired. They have you fill out a worksheet with up to 200 names, put 300 and you're in. Once you're "hired" and pass the industry exams ( life/ series 66/ series7) you go into a quasi training period for 3-7 weeks depending on your sales performance. Key point is you're not paid during this period and you won't start receiving a paycheck until all regulators have signed off all licenses are in place etc. so your hire date is a moving target.

Negotiation Details – They're more flexible on your base weekly pay then they let on. Don't settle for anything other then the full 24k they will pay you in the first 19 weeks (save your money though because all those people you said you knew in the interview better buy insurance/give referrals or your paychecks will drop from 1300 week to 0 if you don't have a lot of sales in your pipeline.)

Interview Details – I was scheduled for a 1 hour long interview. I met with an HR person first and was asked the basic behavioral questions while she took notes. That lasted about 20 minutes and then I met with an Underwriting Consultant for the rest of the hour. He asked more behavioral style questions but were much more specific than the first set. After answering his questions he said they were hiring about 15 people and looking to have a recruiting class in about a month. He also said that there would be a second interview after I complete some aptitude assessments if I am selected and that the whole hiring process should only take 1-2 weeks.
