I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Swiss Re (München, Bavaria) in Jan 2017
Interview
Applied online and uploaded all my documents, completed a numerical aptitude test and received an invitation to an interview about a week later. Was interviewed by a person from the HR team and the market head for Germany, and the interview was extremely friendly and a very pleasant experience. I was asked a lot about my motivation and knowledge about the industry and the company, but also felt that the behavioral questions were a lot harder than in most other interviews. Definitely prepare well and read a lot about the company and industry!
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
A superior, who is not directly responsible for you, tasks you with something you don't know anything about. You are already very busy dealing with jobs assigned to you by your direct superior. How do you approach this situation?
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Swiss Re (Bengaluru) in Mar 2015
Interview
Very long drawn interview process, took almost 6 months for me from the first call to offer acceptance. The face to face interview in itself would be a good learning experience.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Swiss Re (Zúrich) in May 2017
Interview
Es handelte sich um ein Telefon Interview, welches vom zukünftigen, direkten Vorgesetzten durchgeführt wurde. Es waren keine weiteren Pesonen am Gespräch beteiligt.
Es wurde Fragen zum Lebeslauf gestellt und zum jetzigen Job.
Alles in allem war ich sehr positiv überrascht. Auch wurden einzelne Fähigkeiten und Kenntnisse zu einschlägigen Themen abgefragt.
Die Fragen waren einfach klar verständlich.
Das Gespräch dauerte ca. 45 Min. Am Schluss habe ich ein kurzes Feedback zum Gespräch erhalten und ein Hinweis, dass noch zwei andere Kandidaten interviewt werden und ich in zwei Wochen Bescheid erhalte.
