I applied in-person. I interviewed at MassMutual (San Jose, CA) in Dec 2016
Interview
Interview went really well. They took time to really figure out whether it would be a good fit between both parties. There was transparency and they give you the pros and cons about the company and the challenges many agents face.

Question 1
What do you enjoy about your position?
Why did you leave your current position?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at MassMutual (Meridian, ID) in Sep 2020
Interview
I met with Paul Hales in Boise. I really appreciated his interview process. I really felt like he wanted what was best for me, and he wasnt pushy at all.
I was contacted by a recruiter after emailing a resume. I had an initial interview by the recruiter and was offered an second interview by a Vice President. If hired, I would work for that Vice President. The Vice President had me fill out an online questionnaire. The questionnaire is there to weed out people who either have no sales/social bones in their body or are not smart enough to indicate it when that is obviously what the test is seeking to measure.
Following a passing score on the questionnaire, I worked part time for several months and subsequently began working full time.
