      4 step process - phone call with recruiter, meeting with manager, panel with HR team members and then with business leaders, final with Head of HR. Well-organized, regular communication from the recruiter on next steps in the process, everyone welcoming and supportive.

      AVP, HR Interview

      May 23, 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Unum in Apr 2025

      Interview

      The process was very long and drawn out with long times in between interview rounds. I had to keep following up with the Recruiter on status of next steps. I went through a few rounds only to be told by an automated message that I would not be proceeding to the final round. The email I received was a templated response. The person sending it still left the signature blank in the letter. I would have at least expected a direct call or email from my Recruiter.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Lots of Behavior based questions. Typical "give me an example of when you accomplished this task or project"
