I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Guy Carpenter (New York, NY) in Mar 2017
Interview
Had six separate interviews with GC management. Some interviews were one-on-one, where as others were conducted by two managers. Very conversational. Management was cordial and interested in learning about me. Advice: don't overthink or stress over the opportunity to interview for this role. Just be yourself and relay your experience and how you may use it to succeed with GC.

Question 1
If you had to explain insurance and reinsurance to a child, how would you do so?
There was a hireview, then after the hireview there was 2 more interviews after that. The interviews were all behavioral questions and they were super nice. I didn't hear back about the interview until a month later letting me know I didn't get the position.
I applied online. I interviewed at Guy Carpenter (Hong Kong)
Interview
The Hong Kong branch was responsible for mainland business and only rented half a floor of an office building in Quarry Bay. The interviewer was a mainland woman with a face full of resentment. She frowned the whole time looking at my resume and asked me three times, "Why are you still interviewing for a junior position when you have been working for three years?" Why did you call me for an interview if you thought it was not suitable? Then she frowned and said, "Our risk analyst is not the risk control position you think it is. It is just a job level set up with reference to investment banks." Analyst is analyst, why do you add "risk" as a prefix? Finally, she frowned and said that I would basically have to work overtime until 12 o'clock every day for the last three months of the year. Can you bear it? I couldn't laugh at the time, and she also frowned to end the interview, but she still frowned and asked me to stay and take a 1.5-hour written test.
3 rounds of interviews. The first one with the hiring manager, the second one with the vice president, and the third one with the managing director. Interviews could be conducted in either physical or virtual format.
