I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Sun Life (Toronto, ON) in Mar 2023
Interview
In-house recruiter reached out to me about the role. Had an initial interview with HR which went well. A couple of weeks later, recruiter contacted me to say “we’d like to schedule a panel interview” AND “please write a case study”. Spent a few hours working on the case study and submitted it within the agreed timeline (had to be completed within 2 days, during the week, and I have a full time job). Crickets for 3 weeks. Then received another email letting me know that someone would contact me to schedule the interview. Crickets. Another week later, sorry but we’re going with another candidate. Dodged a bullet given how disjointed their hiring process is.

Applied online - recruiter screening call - hiring manager interview - skip level interview - final interview from a leader in a different team. Whole process took about a month from the start of the recruiter call.
Screening call, 3 rounds of interviews with senior management. Standard q&as about work experience. Generally easy and pleasant interview process altogether. Be ready with questions at the end of the interview.
