I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Munich Re (London, England) in Oct 2024
Interview
Really basic behavioral interview where they don’t even have your resume and rarely dive into your background. Then, after the "interview," where you barely have the chance to show any of your skills and abilities, you get ghosted without any response or feedback, even after a follow-up email.
I get the feeling they use a really soft filter before this initial behavioral interview and then apply a tougher CV filter afterward, because I can’t imagine anyone being rejected purely based on that interview. A complete waste of time and a show of disrespect for not even responding to emails.

30 minute interview. Did an application, then did a digital interview, then a 30 minute interview in real life. In person interview was very fast, I walked in and it immediately started. After 25 minutes or so, they wrap up the interview and I got to ask them some questions.
