      Actuarial Interview

      10 Mar 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Pacific Life in Oct 2014

      Interview

      I applied online and was contacted for an interview about two weeks later. The first interview was very easy. Just stuff like "why do you want to be an actuary", "do you have experience with excel, C++, etc.". Then they tell you about the job and you'll hear from them in about a week or two if you get past the first one. The second one is ten questions long and you'll be interviewed by a panel of about 10 actuaries along with 5 or so other candidates. They mainly ask basic behavioral questions, but at the end they open it up to the actuaries to ask any additional questions they want (don't worry they'll just ask any additional questions they have about your answers). Then a little over a week later they called me and told me I got the job and after they run a background check on you they'll send out a packet of paperwork to fill out.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Pacific Life (Los Angeles, CA)

      Interview

      Basic behavioral questions. first round is a phone interview and second round is a group panel interview. second round is harder with more technical questions regarding analytical skills. can be a little intimidating hearing everyone else's answers, but just focus on yourself. the webcam interview was pretty different from what most interviews are like, and can be a little intimidating, but its not too bad. overall nothing too difficult, just be prepared and you should do well
