I applied online. I interviewed at WTW in Jan 2014
Interview
Took less than a week between completing online tests to invitation for the telephone interview. Phone interview is of standard competency-based format. Asked an example for each of teamwork, long-term relationship-building and improving an established process. Also had one motivation question: why Towers Watson and the division.
Be sure to answer what you've learned from each of the three competency examples.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at WTW (London, England) in Feb 2021
Interview
Online interview stage where 5 questions were posed. 30/60 seconds to think and then record answers for 3 minutes. Stage after involved an online Assessment centre where a bunch of interviews took place and a presentation to give based on a topic they give a week in advance.
The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at WTW (London, England) in Feb 2017
Interview
Thorough and lengthy. It spanned a few weeks and culminated in a full assessment day which was back to back with exercises and quite tiring. One of the pros of the final assessment day was the variety of actual associates/future potential colleagues you got to interact with. It was invaluable to be able to pick their brains and gain a real insight into the firms practices and day-to-day expectations for the role.
