Interviewed May 2009 (took a day)
This was an informational interview for me to find out more about the company and about what an actuary does and the necessary qualifications. They were very accomodating and hospitable. It seems to be a good stable place to work with good benefits. However, it is not at all diverse in terms of race and gender.

Interviewed May 2009 in Cincinnati, OH (took 2 weeks)
I met the HR Manager at a career fair. She informed me of an open position that matched well with my resume. She said she would call me to set up an interview the next day. I did not receive a call for 3 days. Therefore, I called her and left a voice mail. The next day she returned my call and set up an interview.
The day of the interview began with a brief one on one interview with the HR Manager. That was followed by a 2 hour interview with the hiring manager and the lead Accountant. Additionally, I was introduced to the Controller and had a brief discussion with her. The interview was quite intense and the questions were moderate in difficulty. However, I was very prepared.
Two days after the interview I received a call from HR offering me the position. I accepted the position and my first day began the following week after a drug screening.

Negotiation Details
I filled this position for an employee who left on maternity leave. The hourly pay rate was set in stone. Additionally, it was much better pay than my previous job. So there was NO negotiation.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Cincinnati, OH (took 7+ weeks)
Recruiter was extremely aloof to put it lightly. She never returned my calls. She sent me a letter of rejection before we ever talked because she thought I wasn't interested, even though I was calling and leaving her messages. We talked once and then she sent me another rejection letter.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Cincinnati, OH (took 2 months)
There were two interviews. The first interview was with HR and the second interview was with the hiring manager and the hiring manager's AVP. It is important to be prepared. This is a very conservative environment.

Interviewed Dec 2009 (took a day)
Took an online assesment to guage whether or not a commission only sales job would be a fit for me. I scored very high and was called to schedule a face to face interview with the hiring manager the next day. He asked very basic questions about my resume and basically told me what was expected of me in the role.
He offered me the job on the spot. I asked to take a few days to think it over. He didn't say that they would rescind the offer if I needed some time, but he hinted at that. I declined the next day.
