I applied online. I interviewed at Mercer in Nov 2016
Interview
It was an interview process through a system called HireVue. It has pre set video questions, you have around 30 seconds - a few minutes to prepare (it is up to them how much time you are given). Then, you are recorded answering the question
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How many taxi cabs are in NYC in a one mile radius?
Very poorly, was contacted via LinkedIn (I didn't initially applied). The interviewer missed the first scheduled call and only wrote back after 5 days. Second scheduled interview was fine. Promised to give me feedback about salary range and send me further recruitment tests. Never got any feedback, seems very unorganized
