I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at The Cigna Group (Overland Park, KS) in Nov 2013
Interview
It was a 4 stage interview all in one day. You will meet with 2 senior underwriters, then 2 separate panels of underwriters at that location. Typical interview questions, but be ready for the problem solving and analytical questions. The only downside was you will not be compensated for traveling expenses to come to the interview.

Question 1
how many golf balls fit in a school bus? (not numerical, rather problem solving and seeing how detailed you will answer)
You have a 3 gallon bucket and a 5 gallon bucket. You need to get exactly 4 gallons of water in the 5 gallon bucket by only using the two buckets given. How do you do this?
I interviewed at The Cigna Group (Philadelphia, PA)
Interview
Pretty easy and straightforward. Had three rounds. One with HR then a long one with team leads and senior management. Very friendly. Wasn’t too long. I was asked the same questions in the different rounds.

The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at The Cigna Group (Franklin, TN) in Oct 2024
Interview
Simple, phone call, then flew me to Franklin for a super day type interview event. Easy questions, just be a decent person and be passionate about wanting the job. Had an offer before I left town.

Question 1
They asked simple questions: "What is an underwriter?"
I thought the questions that were asked were fair and reasonable. There were several questions asked in multiple interview rounds. Each interview round I interviewed with a different person. Each person asked me different questions.
