Interviewed Jul 2010 in Indianapolis, IN (took a day)
Started off with an easy one-on-one interview, just glancing over the highlights of my resume. Then had to complete a skills test, Intelligence test, and a personality test. Even though I failed my personality test (for some reason...) they began to tell me about the job descriptions, pay and work for the first year. After that, I was taken to the interviewer's office, where he told me I had to write down 200 names of people I knew that would need life insurance.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
All commission and no base - would result to only 15,000 a year. They withheld about $300-$600 of your paycheck in case you didn't meet commission. Only hired me to get my clients. Too much work for the money.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, an IQ/Intelligence Test, a Skills Test and a Personality Test.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Cleveland, OH (took 3 weeks)
The interview seemed the company spent more time informing me on Prudential what the position entailed than getting to know me. The personality test was standard and the skills test was fairly easy. Both interviews were almost identical. The interview was very informative for me which was good.

Interviewed May 2010 in Flushing, NY (took 1+ week)
I received a email from Prudential Financial said that they found my resume on Monster.com and felt that I am suitable for the Financial Services Associate positon. I emailed them back and they scheduled me a interview. That interview actually more like a presentation. They presented the positon description in more details and the expected salary. Later we were asked to completed a math test. 1-2 weeks later I got a phone call from Prudential Financial told me they would like a 1:1 interview. The 1:1 interview lasted about 30 minutes and it went pretty well. Then 2 weeks later (after the background check) they asked me if I would like to start the 3-month training.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
They hardly offer any salary in the first 3 months. After the first 3-month training, you earn your salary mostly out of the commission. I wanna a real salary

Interviewed Nov 2010 (took 2 days)
First, I had a phone interview that consisted of basic questions like behaviorial questions and why I wanted to be an actuary. I was invited to a second interview a month later. The first night consisted of a presentation and a dinner. The next morning there were three interviews where each actuary asked behavioral questions from a paper and scribbled what you said on to the paper. This barely left time to ask questions and express your individual strengths. Be sure to prepare for 50 repetitive behavioral questions and try to differentiate yourself somehow. Everyone was very friendly though.

Interviewed Nov 2010 (took 2 weeks)
I've been on two interviews for this position, and after reading some of the things I have on the internet regarding first year salaries, I've decided not to go any further. Seems like they are just taking advantage of unemployed college grads looking for entry level work. Follow the adage: if it look to good to be true, it probably is. I saw the first year income average of 65-75 k and knew something was fishy.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
I need a stable job. I have bills and student loans. I can't rely on busting my butt for an entire commission based structure. How about start people with a decent BASE salary of 35k? You'd get more permanent employees.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, a Skills Test, a Personality Test, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Oct 2010 (took a day)
Actually it was a 2:1 interview. One person came out of the interview to have a casual conversation with you first. It was like a kind of personality check. Then I went into the interview room to talk a senior actuary. They were pretty nice and responsive.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in New York, NY (took a day)
I interviewed for the first round for this position on campus. Night before the interview there was a dinner where we had a chance to meet the interviewers and learn about the position. Two senior employees from the Private division interviewed me. Only behavioral questions, very laid back.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Newark, NJ (took 2 weeks)
30 minute behavioral interview. Basically went down my resume and talked about experience. After resume review I was asked 5-6 typical behavioral questions. Make sure you have examples of what you did at previous jobs to help answer these questions.
