I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Aviva (West Des Moines, IA) in Mar 2019
Interview
Met with lots of people, over a 1 month period -- every one was very friendly and welcoming and offered good insights into the company, The questions seemed to be pre-planned and many questions did not apply specifically to the job for which I was applying
Fairly straightforward application process. I had to submit my CV online and then complete a form explaining how I match the company values. After this, I had a telephone interview which was a standard competency based interview. The interviewers were friendly and made me feel comfortable.

Interview
There is only one round face-to-face interview. I was interviewed with a senior actuary and a manager in the personal line department. The overall experience is great.
