The interview process at Assurant was structured, collaborative, and focused on both technical capability and team fit. It typically started with an initial recruiter conversation to discuss my background, experience, and alignment with the role. This was followed by interviews with hiring managers, VP and Peer teams, where discussions focused on technical skills, problem-solving, business scenarios, stakeholder management, and collaboration style. The process also emphasized understanding team dynamics, communication, and how I approach delivering business impact through analytics and data-driven decision-making. Overall, it felt thorough and gave me good visibility into the role, team, and expectations.

I applied for the position online and was called by HR a few weeks later. After I passed the phone screen, the HR person set up an in-person interview with the hiring manager with some kind of assignment to present at the interview but later changed it to a phone interview without an assignment. The phone interview went well, and I was scheduled for multiple short phone interviews: a higher-level HR person, the hiring manager's boss, a peer to the position, and a business partner. The interviews with the latter two went fine; the others, not so much. The HR person was late to the call and then flat-out told me that she didn't think I was right for the job. The hiring manager's boss said essentially the same thing in softer terms. Of course, this left me wondering why I was being interviewed in the first place. The company never contacted me again after the second round of phone interviews. The HR person I'd been dealing with did not respond to a polite email requesting a status update. Overall, I was left with an impression of confusion around the hiring process and a lack of respect from HR in terms of how it treats candidates.
