I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Equitable in Nov 2008
Interview
HR did a comprehensive interview, while the AVP did not spend any time at all completing the overall process. The HR Director asked some very open-ended questions and spent about an hour discussing the company, position, and expectations. HR described the process of hiring,etc.
The AVP did not spend enough time during the interview process; however, HR did spend a lot of time leaving with a good feeling about AXA's overall environment.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Equitable in Nov 2014
Interview
It was very uncoordinated. I had 2 phone interviews one with HR and the other with the hiring manager. Then, a second in person interview with the hiring manager and his manager. Finally, a third interview with several different people within the office. There seemed to be no coordination and the process took months!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The questions were not specific or difficult. They more wanted to speak about your past experience.
