interviewers seemed unprepared, underqualified.
asked beginner level questions for company of this size.

One phone screen with HR recruiter followed by an on-site interview.

In this market, there was not much room for negotiation. That said, the package they offered was generous so I didn't feel much of a need to push back.

Application

I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Sun Life (Wellesley, MA (US)) in June 2014.

Interview

Submitted my resume online, I believe through LinkedIn. Was contacted by phone within a couple of days for an initial screening. Was scheduled for a phone interview later that week and the phone call was about 30 minutes. Very pleasant supervisor that asked typical behavioral questions. It is definitely important to discuss how your current experience relates to them. She said they would start making calls back within two weeks, but I never heard from her again even after sending a follow up note.

Overall decent experience. They definitely try to filter people out right away, making it very clear what their needs are.
