I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Guy Carpenter (Minneapolis, MN) in Feb 2017
Interview
The interview process was very straight forward. I was able to meet with some of the management one-on-one and we discussed their experience with the company and what to expect in the role that I was interested in. I appreciated them trying to get to know me to see if this was a good fit for me or not. They were very engaging and positive. After my interviews it definitely solidified my pursuit.

Question 1
My current experience in the industry and if I had some experience in with Microsoft Power point and Excel.
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.
