Allianz Life was a pleasure to work with and their recruiting process was pretty straight forward. I applied for the position through my college's career services and meet with representatives at our school's Actuarial Career Fair. First interview was a phone interview with a HR representative and was generally a behavioral interview. The second interview was another phone interview, but it was two 30 minute interviews with some of their senior actuaries. This interview was part behavioral and part technical. Most of the questions in this interview were regarding things listed in my resume. Heavy focus on what I did during my actuarial internships with a different life insurance company. The third and final interview was a full day interview. I was flown out to their office in Minneapolis. This was a pretty grueling day because they set up eight 30 minute interviews. The people who interviewed me were a combination of people who would of been my peers, individuals who would of been my direct managers, and finally an interview with the director of the group. One interview with a direct manager was particularly difficult because he covered this face with a sheet of paper after asking every question, making it difficult to gauge his reactions to my responses. After the third interview I was informed I received the offer approximately a week and half later. The offer had a two week deadline to respond too. In my job hunt process, Allianz had the best HR representative which made the whole process very smooth and simple.

They hold multiple interview sessions whether by phone or in person. You will likely interview with the relevant directors and VP's of the hiring areas as well as an HR representative. Sometimes the interviews can be all in a row which is a little tough for some people. Interviewing with senior leadership can be tough for entry level new hires.
