I interviewed at Philadelphia Insurance Companies

Interview

Boring, toxic, non-negotiable. A huge waste of my time. Company clearly is hierarchy based and their culture seems like a joke. Was ghosted after several follow up attempts. Not even a "thank you, but you're not a good fit" rejection email.

Interview Questions
  • How are you able to handle multitasking and being micromanaged?

I interviewed at Philadelphia Insurance Companies

Interview

Recruiters/talent acquisitions set the tone for the introduction of a company. And mines did just that. From the moment I picked up the phone for what was suppose to be a “phone interview” the guy I spoke with sounded the least interested in his job & the call. He didn’t ask me any questions about myself or experience. In fact the only question he asked me was “do you have any questions for me”. I asked about the interview process and he said he would push my information to the hiring manager to get the process started. That was 2 weeks ago and haven’t heard back since. But regardless I wouldn’t want to move forward with the company as the recruiter already put a bad taste in my mouth. I’ve spoken with numerous of recruiters before who bring energy and enthusiasm to the calls, company & position but this guy didn’t.

Average Interview
Application

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Philadelphia Insurance Companies (Bala Cynwyd, PA)

Interview

The entire interview process was very lengthy, which happened over 2 months. I was overqualified for the entry level job that I interviewed for. The only reason why I interviewed was because the office was closer to my home. After completing all their requirements, I was rejected even though I had 3 years of underwriting experience, and this was a trainee position. I highly believe there was racial discrimination involved. Therefore, I suggest not to waste your time with these people if you are not white. I interviewed for the Bala Cynwyd branch, which is a white majority office.
