I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at AXA UK (Londres, Inglaterra) in Dec 2016
Interview
The opportunity was excellent...the interview process was upsetting.
The interview process was disorganized and drawn out. I had interviewed around Christmas time and the process was continuing until March. The process lacked transparency and there seemed to be severe miscommunication between the hiring manager and the recruiter. I was invited to the final round interview and told that I would receive a call to make those arrangements, unfortunately I never received a call.
I followed up a few days thereafter with the recruiter and received radio silence. After waiting more than a week I sent a follow-up email and still received no response. Almost a month later I received an email from recruitment informing me that my application was no longer being considered.
I understand if after a final round interview a candidate gets rejected, however, in my case AXA had both wrote to me on email and confirmed with me on the phone I had made it to the final round only to reject me a month later and had not even given me the opportunity to interview for the final round. I understand my experience is rare but to treat a candidate like this is unprofessional and upsetting. I had heard good things about the firm but unfortunately my interview experience does not support that reality.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at AXA UK (Londres, Inglaterra) in Jan 2013
Interview
First of all, I had to meet some members of the team, the individual interviews consisted into be asked about the technicity of the related field. In my case, I had questions about existing models about how to price an option. An option was part of what the team was dealing (or trying to). In our quality of operator, we had to get an idea about that subject.
