The Hartford Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – Got an interview through my university. They do two phone interviews followed by an on site interview. I only did the phone interviews. Many "Name a situation where.." questions and others alike it.

Interview Details – Computer login, got phone interview, then referred to job interview. Hartford is a traditional big brother company trying to adapt and transform to a younger workforce. I feel that while experience is valued, it is also set aside in favor of using technology to deliver results at less expense.

Negotiation Details – Not much. Position is entry level.

Interview Details – Application online, phone interview, in person interview

Negotiation Details – non negotiable

Interview Details – Initial phone interview (15 mins) with HR manager, in person interview with 2 finance managers (45 mins - 1 hr). Phone interview was the norm with behavioral questions and in person interview completely surprised me! Be sure to thoroughly research the industry and the division you're applying for as you will be asked those questions unlike any other interview I've ever had. If you are selected, you move on to round 3 and interview with the manager's boss.

I lost interest in the position during my 2nd interview bc I discovered there weren't any flexibility with schedules (can't leave at the end of the day until everyone is finished, schedule doesn't align with NYSE, you are placed on a rotational schedule which means you can start as early as 6 am and stay as late as 6/7 pm CT) and most importantly, this position asks for an accounting/finance degree but almost have nothing to do with accounting since you'd be responsible for calculating NPV of mutual funds all day, no thank you.

Interview Details – They did forget to mention that this a micro managed position that has a tracking device for each employee. They also forgot to mention the verbal and wriiten warnings if you don't meet a certain percentage in sales during training.

Negotiation Details – there was no negotiation, it's a take it or leave it deal

Interview Details – quick communications by phone and email, some coaching by recruiter was very helping for in person interview.

Negotiation Details – They did negotiate but they were firm on their limit.

Interview Details – The first interview was over the phone by one of the HR reps, approximately 20 minutes, easy questions. The second interview(s) was with 4 managers, 2 each. These interview questions were pretty easy. They asked questions like, "Tell me a little about yourself and how you found out about this position. Why do you want to work for The Hartford? What motivates you?" I was there for about an hour and a half. Then about two hours after I got home, I received an email requesting another interview. I went back the following week and met with 2 more managers, 1 each. The questions were a little more rapid, and structured more to my specific experience as outlined on my resume. They informed me that they still had a few more interviews left, and that by Friday of the following week, the recruiters should be calling with decisions (My last interview was on a Tuesday). As mentioned, the recruiter called the following week letting me know they were very impressed an wanted to extend an offer.

Negotiation Details – I haven't received the offer letter yet (just received the phone call today), so negotiation hasn't commenced. However, I would advise that you look up the salary range for the position you are applying for so you can have a leg to stand on when negotiating.

Interview Details – tell me about a time questions = boring

Negotiation Details – na

Interview Details – Online application, email to set up time, detailed contact information, and then phone interview. I was told the result will be available in 2 weeks and received email around in 10 days saying they decided not to fill the position.
