Interviewed Jan 2010 in Atlanta, GA (took 2 weeks)
The process consisted of my submitting an application for employment on the TW website. I received a phone call about a week later informing me that they'd like to move forward in the process and set up a phone interview. A few days later, I spoke with the hiring manager regarding the position, my background, etc. I was then invited into the office for a group interview with the other Analysts and Consultants. The questions asked were simple and repetitive as one might expect (background, goals, interest). The only thing I would warn others about is the complete arrogance that emanated from every single one of them. I don't know who these people think they are, but wow....I can't believe a company lets their employees act like this. Must be a horrible culture. I was happy to not have received an offer.
Tips: be prepared to discuss your background and show an interest in DB/DC plans as well as market/manager research.

Interviewed Apr 2012 in New York, NY (took 2 months)
It took awhile to get the ball rolling - i applied and it took several weeks for them to contact me. After an initial phone screen, it took another 3 weeks to be invited for an on-site interview. The interview consisted of a panel of four, a brief presentation, a case study with a second presentation and then two 1:1 interviews.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 3 weeks)
I applied through my university and was accepted for an on campus interview. Before my actual interview started, I was met by another actuarial student currently working for the company 10 minutes before. She asked me if I had any questions for her before the interview started. I then met with my actual interviewer, who I felt was very professional and a good interviewer. HR informed me a couple of days later that they were impressed with me during my interview with them. However, I ironically was never scheduled for a final round interview, as I guess they considered other candidates stronger and decided to interview them first. About 5 weeks after the on campus interview, HR informed me that due to the volume of strong candidates like myself and limited number of positions available, they were not able to proceed.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Atlanta, GA (took 1 week)
The interviewer was very open and friendly. However, he asked if I had any questions after about 15 minutes out of a 45 minute interview which I took to mean the closing of the interview. Weird miscommunication.
