First things first was the phone interview. There were a couple simple situational questions asked about how I reacted, and after that came the face-to-face interview. Scheduling of the face-to-face occurred within 24 hours of the phone interview, which I appreciated. This involved a 10 minute discussion on the position with one person, and then a second joined and the behavioral part began. They fired off questions following a packet. The questions weren't overly difficult and involved a math problem, "tell me about a time when...", and one difficult question "who do you think is more likely to apply for long term disability: a male or female?". The interviewers made it feel comfortable and non-threatening. Given all that I had heard previously about how difficult their interview process is, I felt that was a simple intellectual challenge. Just be prepared! Spend time thinking about previous situations in your career so that examples easily come to mind. I haven't yet heard back from them (it's only been 2 days and they quoted up to 2 weeks), but I will update this review when I hear more.

This interview experience was exception. Cigna is one of the largest insurance companies in the nation and their reputation was confirmed with their hiring process. Each person I came in contact with was professional, helpful, and detailed in their explanation of the role requirements. The turn around time was also quite quick once my resume was submitted.
