      Actuarial Assistant Interview

      I interviewed at New York Life

      Interview

      I recently experienced a confusing situation where I received two phone interview invitations simultaneously. I participated in both interviews, only to later be informed that it was a mistake. It's not so professional for such a big company.

      Actuarial Assistant Interview

      Oct 18, 2025
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at New York Life in Oct 2025

      Interview

      The interview was via phone so I had presumed it was going to be more like a screening than an interview. I found it to be strange that they would conduct an interview this way. It was with an employee that has been working there for nearly 3 years but who entered this role straight from college. I had a hard time connecting with her and making it conversational as at times it felt like a quiz. I was also pretty much cutoff at the end and not able to ask additional questions after I had asked a couple and was not told I could email with additional questions.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at New York Life in Sep 2023

      Interview

      The interview started off really friendly but the interviewer had cut me off at the 30-minute time mark when I still had questions for them. There was a lot of pauses on their end too but they were really supportive.
