I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Zurich Insurance (Atlanta, GA) in Feb 2010
Interview
My hiring process consisted of three interviews. I completed an initial phone screening in which I spoke to an outside recruiter. The interview consisted of typical behavioral questions. My second interview was an in person interview with two team managers. It consisted of very similar and sometimes repetitive behavioral questions from the first interview. My third interview immediately followed my second and took place with the assistant vice president. This was a very informal interview where we discussed my resume, skills, and fit for the position. After my final interview I was contacted by the recruiter and extended an offer. Upon acceptance, I was told that I would need to be available to start within two days.

If an account executive was asked to describe your work ethic, what would they say?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Zurich Insurance (Rancho Cordova, CA) in Jan 2017
Interview
Interviewed by 5 different people in four different rooms, rotating with four other candidates. Each room had a category: technical, project management, leadership, and conflict. All of the interviewers were great, although it was quite intimidating being placed in a room with two interviewers (in the technical portion). The goal is to show that you are passionate about claims and that you are willing to stick around for a while, because they are investing in your career.

Why do you want to work at Zurich, specifically in claims? What is something going on in the insurance industry right now? How do insurance companies make their money? What is a factor/event that can potentially impact insurance companies? What is your favorite Excel shortcut? How proficient are you in Excel?
