Online interview, usual interview questions. They walk through your CV and asked about the actuarial examination exemptions you are in line to receive. Very friendly and kind to everyone who interviews with them.

I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Zurich Insurance (London, England) in Nov 2025
Interview
The first stage of the process was an online assessment, and the second stage was a job simulation with a few video interview questions. The final stage consisted of a strengths-based interview that lasted an hour. It was a mix of motivational questions and scenario based question (i.e. what would you do in this situation?) This was conducted by two employees. Afterwards, there was a technical-based interview that lasted an hour and was conducted by two different interviewers. This consisted of simple probability, data interpretation and guesstimation questions.
Resume screen, OA with one way video interview, 2 rounds of f2f interviews consisting of technical and behavioural questions. Behavioural questions are standard, and technical questions test knowledge on GI products.
