      Retirement Actuarial Intern Interview

      Feb 5, 2013
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      New York, NY
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Mercer (New York, NY) in Jan 2013

      Interview

      I applied through an alumni connection. I was then contacted for a phone interview, which was mostly resume review and very easy-going. A few weeks later (because the holidays fell in between) I was contacted for an onsite interview. I had four 1:1 interviews with actuaries at various levels. Then the group of us who were interviewed that day went to lunch with two more analysts. All were very friendly people and spoke very highly of the position and the company. The work environment felt very young and energized. Know the differences between traditional insurance and consulting.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What is the main role of a pensions actuary? How would you describe the responsibilities of this position to your friends and family? Why consulting? What other types of companies have you applied to?
