I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Munich Re (Chicago, IL) in Sep 2024
Interview
Got an email the a few hours after applying for the role. Scheduled the initial behavioral interview for the following week with the lead recruiter for the role. They started off by providing about 15 mins of overview of the company and the position and asked if I had any logistic questions. The remaining 25 mins was reserved for behavioral questions (think STAR story). I did not get invited for a second round interview. I followed up with the recruiter for feedback; they shared that my answers lacked a bit of depth with regards to why I chose the actions I did in my STAR stories. I would encourage interviewees to explain the 'why' behind their actions in their STAR stories.

Very professional, 2-3 interviewers were taking notes. Kind of conservative atmosphere, typical questions and overall very positive experience. Long waiting time to get the interview and get results. I don’t know what the reason is. Online test before the actual interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Munich Re (London, England) in Apr 2025
Interview
The screening was done in 2 stages.
1. Technical discussion with Architects
2. A round with mix of Hiring managers & Tech leaders
I really enjoyed the conversions with both the group of people, they seemed amazing people to work with.
The only part which I think could be better for candidates is the way the communicate the outcomes of Interviews. The candidate deserves to be clearly communicated with outcomes after it reaches the maximum time limit and it is not easy for them to keep guessing while they invested so much time and aspirations into it.
