I applied online. I interviewed at Mercer in Aug 2022
Interview
the interview process was pretty short. there was first an online assessment, which was mcq based and was mostly statistical, logical with few hard theorotical questions. After scoring atleast 50% we get to give the interview with the team manager. the interview was for about half an hour. They ask pretty simple questions to see if your basics are cleared. They will also ask questions from the papers you have cleared.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
do you know different types of annuities and explain how they are differnt.
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
