The process has since changed - last year in 2017 they were still doing the video montages - now a new person (Paul Houchens) has been leading the process and he conducts preliminary phone screenings, at least for the actuarial student role, which I applied for earlier this year. There's a case study, the larger part of which deals with Excel. It's extremely easy. However, navigating through the culture is more difficult. I've been told before that "you don't want to work there", "it's very kiss-up and kick-down culture", "there is almost no corporate culture because they don't have HR", "it's non-bureaucratic and very flat" etc and to be honest all of this still remains true in my mind. I had already interviewed before for an internship and have since met 4 principals all of whom are very different but what strikes me as unusual was the big wall of professionalism they seem to put in front of them when you interact with them. Not that it's a bad thing, but it made it harder to connect and feel like they were genuinely nice people. And to make things worse, no-one, not even the administrative assistant, bothered to reply after it was all said and done and I asked for feedback. So the advice I have is to be prepared to make an uncomfortable situation comfortable.

Interview
First you submitted your application and resume. Then you had a short 30 minute zoom interview/introduction. Then you have to take a timed and proctored analytical assessment which was a lot for the amount of time you got. Then was the full two hour interview in 4 segments of 30 minute interviews with pairs at each level of the company
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They wanted to know why I liked their company and what my goals were
There were 4 rounds, one was a digital hirevue thing, the next was a 30 minute zoom interview, then a techinal assessment using excel, and finally a 2 hour interview with 7 different actuaries.

Question 1
They go really in depth about why you want to work there, so a bs answer you formulate from their website wont cut it.

Interview
Had a phone interview then an in-person interview at their office downtown. Both were completely normal, except the in-person interview had a strange 'how do you think' type exam. Everything went well, then they randomly ghosted me while not responding to my two emails. This could have been due to COVID pandemic going on, but it shouldn't have stopped them from responding to the emails.
