Guy Carpenter interview questions

(Prague office) This was one of the most poorly managed recruitment processes I’ve experienced. The process took 3 months, yet it felt like a series of last-minute fire drills. The company took its time at every stage, including a gap of about six weeks between the first and second interview rounds, with little communication. Despite this drawn-out timeline, I was repeatedly expected to adjust my availability on very short notice once they decided to move forward. Interview dates were proposed last minute. In one instance, urgency was explicitly justified by the recruiter’s upcoming vacation, effectively transferring internal scheduling problems onto the candidate. The second round required preparing an Excel case study, a PowerPoint presentation, and presenting Excel outputs with only two days’ notice. The skills being assessed were not mentioned in the job description and were not reflected in my CV, making the evaluation criteria unclear. Overall, the process was entirely one-sided: slow and unresponsive on the company’s side, but urgent for the candidate. It showed weak coordination, poor planning, and little respect for candidates’ time.
