I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Mercer (Gurgaon, Haryana)
Interview
There were 3 rounds in total. The first round tested your comfort with numbers and English proficiency. The second round consisted of a short conversation with a manager and project manager. The last round was with the HR who just wanted to get to know you.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to work in the retirement business?
Why Actuarial Science?
Very poorly, was contacted via LinkedIn (I didn't initially applied). The interviewer missed the first scheduled call and only wrote back after 5 days. Second scheduled interview was fine. Promised to give me feedback about salary range and send me further recruitment tests. Never got any feedback, seems very unorganized
