I applied in-person. I interviewed at New York Life
Interview
Was racially profiled and told that I was an ideal candidate because I "fit the market for South Asian people", and there for only 4 South Asian agents in the entire office.
I was not reimbursed for the $60 I had to pay to get to the interview site, and the interviewer showed up 2 hours late.
Rejected second round offer. Extremely unprofessional and disorganized.
