New York Life interview questions

There was an initial phone screen that lasted approximately 30 minutes. A few weeks later, I got an email to schedule a second interview at their Manhattan headquarters. I went in for the interview, and they had five people lined up to interview me for 30 minutes each. Then I went to lunch with two actuarial students, and that ended the second round of interviews. I would say it was a great experience overall. The interviews weren't as stressful as I thought it would be. I had great conversations with all of them, and I would say I really liked the culture and the people who worked there. A few days later, I got an offer.

I applied via the NYL website. Received a call within a week. Went in and interviewed with a manager who seemed bright, professional and knowledgable. However, the impression I got was more of a typical life insurance sweat shop not a professional advisor atmosphere. It seemed to me they were interested in filling up the "bull-pen" with bodies, through as much " " at the wall and seeing what stuck. Declined to move on with the process.
