I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Prudential (Newark, NJ) in Nov 2018
Interview
I applied for this position in September but was initially rejected since my resume was not very strong. After a few weeks, a friend who had previously interned with Prudential was asked if they had any suggestions for potential candidates since there were still a few positions open after the initial interviews. My friend referred me and I was then asked to do a Hirevue video interview where I answered 6 standard behavioral and technical questions. After a couple of days, I was invited to an interview at the headquarters in Newark. It consisted of three one-on-one interviews for 45 minutes each. About two hours after I left, I received a call telling me that I would be receiving an offer.
