Firstly - the TECDP Intern review process is very similar to the TECDP Associate review process. An anonymous user posted an excellent write-up down below pertaining to software engineering -- beyond whiteboarding, the questions are very similar.
I learned about Cigna through a campus career fair at my college. After asking some basic questions about the company, they took my information, and eventually contacted me back for a round one interview. This was soley behavioral STAR questions - as long as you have excellent interpersonal skills, this is a breeze. Some of the questions are detailed below. Like the other user, following the STAR questions my interviewers went moderately in-depth with how Round 2 would work, and sure enough I was contacted in a week or so with details for Round 2 day (R2D). They asked for the roles and locations I would be interested in.
R2D was a little more challenging -- essentially, R2D is a six-hour business formal event composed of two interviews, presentations, and discussions between Cigna employees and past Cigna TECDP employees.
The first interview was another behavioral STAR-based session between two senior engineers. While most of my questions were related to leadership, they will test your technological knowledge but won't whiteboard you. For the second interview, I was tasked with presenting a technological achievement with 2-5 slides of information and a time limit for a Q&A panel after the presentation. (Naturally, before R2D you get time to prepare this). I was interviewed by two senior engineers, who were quite knowledgeable and respectful. It's more than likely that your interviewers will throw some challenging questions at you to make sure you have developed understanding based off of your project.
A few days after R2D concluded I was contacted with an offer. Overall, this was an excellent interview experience that familiarized me with the company mission and culture.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What experience do you have leading a team, and what challenges did you encounter in this process?
I was not that bad. I would say there final stage was almost 6-7 hours. But the actual interview process of that was 45 mins. They spend a lot of time talking about the company and ask you to ask questions to Alumni from your school and current employees.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at The Cigna Group in Sep 2025
Interview
There was first a recruiter phone interview. the second round consists of the first round behavioral. The second round is a super day that consists of the overview of the program with a case study with up to around 4-6 people in your group and individual behavioral round.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had to learn something in a very short amount of time.
One long day of three interviews and a lunch and breakfast. Kind of like a group interview style but the interviews were one-on-one. I would highly reccomened! It was not that difficult and i think they were more so looking for people who could communicate well
