I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at New York Life
Interview
I had to meet with 3 different managers. This was the 3rd position that I applied for and was hired for, in my career with NYL, and that seems to be the norm. The interview and hiring process is very slow, and if it is an internal move, managers tend to delay the transition. Sometimes they battle it out, Hunger's Game style.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself, and where do you see yourself
I commuted two hours to NYC for the interview. Only one out of three interviewers arrived on time, and one did not show up at all. Additionally, I was asked very few questions, which limited my ability to demonstrate my qualifications and enthusiasm for the role.
Interview process was extremely long. 2 months and 3 rounds later had to ask to get an update which was followed by an automated email. After the time and efforts spent, a rejection from a real human would have been more appropriate.
