I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at WTW (City of London, England) in Jul 2011
Interview
The first interview consisted of a 2:1 setup and appeared to be an initial screening interview to asertain my motivations for working in the company and in the sector. I was able to answer most questions as I had researched the company and the general role, although I had not specifically searched reinsurance, which I was asked about, meaning I wasn't able to answer that question. The first interview was not competency based, but mainly consisted of questions regarding why I applied to Willis, what I thought I would be doing in the role, and how I would be a good candidate to work in their Tokyo branch (as I would transfer after 2-3) years. The second stage consisted of aptitude tests including verbal and mathematical skills. The final interview stage was more specific and focused more on my past achievements and competencies. I didn't receive an offer but I was not that surprised as it was not my best interview, as I had been quite ill during the week of the recuriting process, but it was a learning experience.
Submit CV online, Phone call with line manager, online interview with group, 3 rounds of interview, last one is the interview with senior level management. People are nice and the interviewer all friendly.
Very straightforward, phone interview followed by 2 in person rounds. Standard process. All around very pleasant experience and no “gotcha” questions. Would not hesitate to recomend the company as a great place to interview and work!
