      Underwriter Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Sun Life

      Interview

      The process was extremely slow and disappointing. I completed two interviews and all the required assessments, but afterward I received no further communication despite my follow-ups. My application status remained ‘in progress’ for two months. A simple response would have been appreciated. I am very disappointed and will no longer apply to this company.
