I applied online and was contacted for a phone interview. The questions were mostly behavioral. I then came in for an in-person interview. I met with several students in the program and had a 3-person interview as well. They actually didn't ask any technical questions. If your background is not actuarial, they'll ask why you want to be an actuary. They also asked why health insurance and not life or P&C. They contacted me soon after to extend an offer.

Question 1
Asked so many behavioral questions. Almost all "tell me about a time when ______". Not difficult questions but felt redundant after a certain point and felt like I had drawn upon every possible experience
HR screening then an interview with the hiring manager. Final interview was with the team members. Interview was easy,I liked the team and they offered the job and I accepted.
