I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Swiss Re (Adliswil, Zürich) in Apr 2015
Interview
Sehr positives und konstruktives Umfeld; angenehme Atmosphäre; wir haben schnell Übereinstimmung beim Vorgehen zur Erstellung von konzeptionellen Datenmodellen erzielt. Inhaltlich haben wir auch kurz über Accounting gesprochen. Möglichkeit zu Home-Office wurde mir auf meine Anfrage hin angeboten (war mir wichtig aufgrund meines Arbeitswegs)

Question 1
Wo haben sie bereits konzeptionelle Modelle erstellt
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Swiss Re (New York, NY) in Apr 2019
Interview
Initial phone screening arranged by HR. Interview email invitation was addressed to the wrong person. Phone screen was confirmed via email then rescheduled. Interviewer was a VP being chauffeured in a car and warned me that we may get cut off. Call kept going in and out. VP kept cutting me off mid-sentence. Bad first impression. Unprofessional to conduct a telephone interview in a moving car. Decided on the call that financial background was key to the role so mutually agreed would not be a good fit. Advice: train HR on how to set up interviews and train execs on how to conduct professional interviews. Totally unimpressed with Swiss Re.
