I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Aviva (London, England) in Mar 2025
Interview
Screening call, followed by 2:1 strengths-based interview with Hiring Managers. Friendly interviewers who were willing to engage in conversation and share insight on their roles, the team and key priorities.
However, the lack of communication following the interview was extremely disappointing. I was informed that I would hear back on the outcome within a couple of days; 6 weeks has passed with no communication. The recruiter failed to respond to any emails, and the main recruitment inbox responded to note they were "not the best placed to advise on my interview outcome". Totally unacceptable, regardless of the amount of applications received. Workday is used for the recruitment process and can issue automated emails if needed.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions on past experience relating to coaching, inspiring, influencing a diverse group, prioritising work, bringing together people from different backgrounds and seeking out views from others.
Utterly weird interview. They said the questions were going to be a bit unusual but to ask questions. They then shut every question about what they were trying to ask. Slightly dismissive and cold attitude. 5 weeks later and I’ve still not heard back - so very poor admin.
