Applied online and heard back 2 weeks later. There were two rounds of interviews plus an initial phone screen, all about 1 week apart. First interview consisted of generic behavioral questions. Second interview was a week later with higher ups and similar questions. There were two interviewers at both.

Question 1
Describe a situation where you experienced a problem with another person at the workplace, and how did you overcome it?
2nd round video interview with one team manager and one team member. Asked about what is plain vanilla bond, bond feature, etc. more technical questions than behavioral questions. The interview was around 30 minutes.
I applied online. I interviewed at Manulife (Kwun Tong, Kowloon City) in Jan 2026
Interview
The JD is deceptive.
They’re actually looking for an insurance agent if you see something like “ Meet individual sales KPIs, and premium revenue objectives”/ “ client-specific”.
To be fair people there are nice and imply their real intentions in the first interview, but why even bother to go, right?
