I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at New York Life (Dallas, TX) in Feb 2013
Interview
The meetings were very disorganized and really uncomfortable. I met with 10 people individually and had the same conversation separately with each of them. What a colossal waste of time. It was very obvious that none of them had ever hired or fired anyone. It was also apparent that they were uncomfortable because they didn't know how to conduct an interview.
I applied online. I interviewed at New York Life (New York, NY) in Feb 2026
Interview
3 rounds of interview. HR, Hiring Manager and Department head. HR was behavioral questions and Hiring Manager was about fit. Department head interview was random questions where they acted disengaged and I was wasting his time. Whole process took 2.5 months. After the final interview was ghosted. Follow-up multiple times but no response and no update from the online site. Only found out through a LinkedIn update of the hired person
Process went pretty smoothly with only three rounds before offer was presented. All sessions were focused more on experience and background with no real "gotcha" questions. Overall, a positive experience.
