      Retirement Actuarial Analyst Interview

      Feb 17, 2016
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Mercer in Oct 2015

      Interview

      It was a two on one interview. It more of a conversation than an interview. They went down my resume and asked general questions about it. Then they asked me a few basic "tell them a time that you did this and how do you do it" questions. There were no questions that threw me for a curve. It was very laid back and they emailed me back within the next 2 weeks.

      Question 1

      Tell us a time when you had to explain something difficult to understand to someone in a way that they would understand

      Retirement Actuarial Analyst Interview

      Dec 2, 2015
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Berkeley, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Mercer (Berkeley, CA) in Oct 2015

      Interview

      I met on campus for an interview. The interviewer was friendly and engaging but did not seem really prepared, since she randomly chose questions from a list in front of her to ask from, which probably also led to a really fast interview. It was behaviorial based rather than technical, with very standard questions.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why did you choose the actuarial field? Tell me about past internship.
