I applied through college or university. I interviewed at New York Life
Interview
Applied via campus recruiting. Their communication was efficient and quick. Interviewing process went smoothly. For the most part, they asked behavior questions with very minor technical aspects. For the interview itself, definitely read through and understand the various products that NYL offers.
The interviewing team was very cordial. Most of the interviews were one-on-one. However, there is also a portion of the interview where they take the candidate to lunch.
Approximately 30 minute phone interview. We both gave each other a brief introduction and he proceeded to ask mostly behavioral questions. Very few company specific questions like why New York Life.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why New York Life? Describe a time when you faced a challenge and how you overcame it.
My interviewers were rude and unprofessional during the entire interview. Even worse, they ask the same type of questions in every single session. The whole process was a waste of time. Would not recommend doing an internship with them since the culture seems so bad.
Great! It took 3 weeks for them to reject me. It was a 2.5hrs interview with 6 people from different teams. Make sure to review some basic insurance concepts because they will ask you during the interview.
