      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Burns & Wilcox (San Francisco, CA)

      Interview

      Lengthy, vague, and overall lacking in substance. Questions asked were surface level situational questions that had no real impact relation to this role. I was dragged on for more than a month over 5 rounds of interviews only to be let go on the second to last round due to the interviewer being hungover and tired.

      Associate Underwriter Interview

      12 Oct 2024
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Burns & Wilcox (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2024

      Interview

      I went through four lengthy interview rounds, requiring in-person meetings, which may require travel if you're not local. Communication delays were frequent, often requiring me to follow up. This extended my stay in SF due to their delays. Promised timeframes for updates and feedback were consistently missed, and many communications started with apologies for the delays. Near the end of the process, I discussed potential start dates with a recruiter, which was misleading. After two weeks of no updates, I reached out and learned that I was not selected. I asked for feedback on the decision but did not receive a response. The overall experience involved considerable time, effort, and financial expense over six weeks.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      "Describe your favorite vs least favorite manager that you've worked with" "What are 3 non-negotiables for your next role" "describe a time you had to deal with a difficult customer" "hypothetically, if we were to give you an offer, would you stay with us long term and move here permanently?"
