I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Erie Insurance Group (Erie, PA)
Interview
I want to start by saying that the entire interview process at Erie Insurance was great. All the employees are kind, genuine, and extremely welcoming. I had five 35 minute interviews with various actuaries and those in management. Additionally, a lunch interview for about an hour with an actuary who worked at the company. This was nice because I had the opportunity to speak with someone on a more personal level as opposed to the more formal sit-down interviews. Erie paid for my transportation and meals for the day as well. Overall, a very streamlined and enjoyable process.
