I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Aetna in Apr 2017
Interview
Panel interview with basic math and statistics questions. Very casual setting, come prepared with questions because it doesn't take too long. Also, the background check TAKES FOREVER so be prepared. They will ask you for details about EVERYTHING, even things that don't apply to the position you are applying for (for example, they had to hunt down my notary public credential and I don't need it to do my job)

I applied online. I interviewed at Aetna (Hartford, CT) in May 2019
Interview
Phone interview followed by an onsite interview asking basic questions that are stated previously. Some simple math calculations nothing crazy. I then got called the next day for another interview which had the same questions pretty much. Two days later got an offer.

It was a great experience. Submitted application online, and heard back from them in 3 weeks. Scheduled an interview with 3 underwriting managers. Interview lasted about an hour. The second half was more a conversation. Received offer two days after interview
