I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at WTW (Chicago, IL) in Sep 2014
Interview
On campus interview: 45 mins. Then was invited to go to Chicago for on-site interviews. Had a dinner the night before with two younger actuaries, who were very nice and answered some of my questions about their internship experiences. The next day had 5 interviews of 30 minutes in a row, followed by a lunch with two people. All of the interviewers were very nice, and the questions were pretty straightforward (behavioral, asking about things on resume, etc)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
This question followed one asking how I managed my time between school, exams, activities: Was there ever a time where something unexpected came up when you were already busy, and how did you respond to that?
i only have the video interview, but i am not selected. That is around 5-6 questions, asking about behavior questions. And later they will let you complete two games. I could only remember one is about the numbers.

Question 1
I could remember one is about teamwork, one is about priority, and how many certificates you have.
I applied online. I interviewed at WTW (Bristol, England) in Mar 2022
Interview
I did an online test involving numerical test etc, and the next step is video interview followed by an assessment center. The assessment centre took about a day, from 9am to 1 or 3 pm. I can't remember.
