I applied through university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Guardian Life (New York, NY) in Nov 2015
Interview
Two interviews in total. The first was with a panel of three managers and was a very basic behavioral interview with pretty standard questions. The second interview was essentially entirely technical and focused on how much SQL and other languages I knew.
The interview was smooth, with logical questions and team-based scenarios. They focused more on understanding your problem-solving approach, collaboration style, and workplace values rather than very deeply technical questions, though technical proficiency was tested.
