I applied online. I interviewed at New York Life (New York, NY)
Interview
Received email from HR asking to set up an interview for the position I applied online. No phone screen necessary. I met with three Corporate VP managers (30 minutes each) and last with the HR recruiter (10-15 minutes). The interviews were more conversational. They all asked why I was looking to leave my current company and to tell them about myself. The meeting with the HR recruiter at the end was more about my current salary, what my salary expectations were and how I felt about the team and position.
I received a phone call 3 days later from the HR recruiter; she gave me feedback from the interview which was overall positive and I was told the team would be making their decision in a week. Over 3 weeks later, I get an email from HR asking me if I would be interested in interviewing for another position with another team that they had open.
I later found out that the position I interviewed for was filled by an internal candidate and the managers that interviewed me actually referred me to the other position that was open.
I was a little disgruntled from the lack of communication or updates from HR.
The interview process included an initial recruiter screening, followed by behavioral and technical interviews focused on financial analysis, Excel, data interpretation, communication skills, and fit with New York Life’s team culture.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at New York Life (Miami, FL) in May 2025
Interview
I had an interview with New York Life. We discussed the responsibilities, work format, and client acquisition. The job seems promising but requires initiative, self-organization, and readiness to work without a fixed salary.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at New York Life (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2025
Interview
The first round of the interview process is a phone call with a recruiter, second is a zoom interview (very informal, just want to get to know you), third is an in person interview at their office. All were with the same recruiter.
