I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Swiss Re (Stamford, CT) in Mar 2018
Interview
Horrible. They treated me without respect and expected me to love the company. I was recommended by a current employee and they still treated me horribly. I wouldn't even do business with them.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Swiss Re (Zúrich) in Jun 2022
Interview
1. Coding challenge: I received a PDF that described the problem to be solved and had 4 days to work on it. In my case I had to implement a program that read log files, applied some operations on them and wrote the results to an output file.
2. Technical interview: 1 hour interview with crew lead and senior engineer. A couple behavioural questions by crew lead to start with and spent the rest of the interview talking about my solution to the coding challenge with the engineer.
3. Behavioural interview: 30 minute behavioural interview. Mostly to see if I would fit the culture and the team.
