I applied online. I interviewed at Principal Financial Group in Jun 2013
Interview
Spoke with HR. Very friendly and conversational. Discussed resume and questions regarding professional experiences.
Moved onto second interview with department head. Again, very friendly and conversational.
Easy interview questions - situational. HR person seemed very nice and honest. Questions were about things I have done at my previous job and how it connected to traits they were looking for
I interviewed at Principal Financial Group (Minneapolis, MN)
Interview
Had to post a video of me describing my resume during the application that was stressful. Actual interview was standard. Did not move forward because there was a hiring freeze at the time.
I had given my interviews through the pool campus. Hence there was brief introduction to tell what the company does and what will our role be, then there was shortlisting via an aptitude test and 3 rounds of interviews after.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They mostly asked situation based questions to test how quickly you can come up with solutions to management/ team/ daily task related problems. Also asked me what was my career plan , where do you see yourself 5 years down the line.
