I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Pacific Life (Newport Beach, CA) in Nov 2023
Interview
First round was an in-person 1 on 1(primarily behavioral). Next was a group interview with multiple interviewers and multiple applicants(each applicant would go in order answering the questions)(behavioral and slightly technical)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain a technical project you have done in the past.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Pacific Life in Dec 2013
Interview
first a phone interview for about half an hour with an actuarial HR person. She was nice and straightforward, the questions she asked in phone interview were pretty standard behavior questions. After about a week I was notified for an Web interview. It was a panel interview with that same HR person and a team of 5-6 actuaries, and 5 other candidates. It was kind of intimidating because you can hear every answer other candidates provide. The web interview went on for an hour and a half. Sadly I didn't receive an offer.
