Easy and good people. Made the process feel more like a conversation than anything. Did not feel on edge at all. I really enjoyed the time there. Overall, more of a discussion than anything.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at New York Life

Interview

Don't waste time with this company. This gave me a wrong interview time, I showed up but no one is there, I can't reached out to anyone. IT WASTE MY WHOLE DAY! After almost 5 hrs of the scheduled meeting time, someone finally replied me with only one sentence, they never scheduled me for that time, I provided them with evidences about the meeting time, they just made up a meeting time no one ever told me. Very unprofessional.
