I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at New York Life in Jun 2013
Interview
Introduced by a recruiter and had an hour long interview with HR. The HR manager asked about myself and how I reacted in a couple situations. He asked a lot of questions regarding volumes of marketing but did not have a marketing background and was not able to put my responses in any type of context. After that interview, I was asked to provide a write up on direct response marketing.
I felt that the HR was screening candidates with some pretty interesting questions, but was not able to make the yes/no response -- since nuances are important. Therefore the hiring manager was not going to get any workable feedback on any of the candidates. Sometimes it is more important to understand how a candidate thinks and approaches things that the actual number of kits mailed out of a door in a marketing role.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at New York Life in Dec 2022
Interview
The interview process included an initial round with the hiring manager itself. It was very generic that included questions about my work background, my passions, etc. But the company ghosted the interview in the end.
I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at New York Life (New York, NY) in Jul 2020
Interview
Very thorough! Multiple steps over several weeks. All interviews over Zoom with multiple people at the same time. Work project and presentation required.
The process seemed a bit drawn out but it’s hard to tell as there may have been multiple candidates or actual headcount issues.
