The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Prudential in Oct 2010
Interview
The interview process took forever. I rec'd an email from Pru asking me to come in for an interview. I went and met with the Manager who talked up the company and position stating that most new hires make $300-900k and some make up to $3.2 million. I know a lot of insurance salesmen who make a lot of money so I believed the Manager. Foolish. I took an IQ/ Math test there that was not difficult. I contacted the hiring manager and manager the next day and continued to check up with them for the test results - a few weeks later I was sent a Sales Test which was simple. You are asked questions that are multiple choice about how you feel about people, sales and customer service. It took about a month to here back from the hiring manager saying I passed both. They then called back a few days later to have me come in to meet with the training manager and manager again who did not really "interview" me. They asked how I would find clients and then asked me to complete a "Project 200" of 200 people I know with ALL of their information. At this point I never thought anything of providing them with information for family, friends and prospective clients of mine. A few weeks later the hiring manager called to make sure I met with the manager and then asked that I come in for a meeting with the manager. I came in the next week and was asked to sign forms and accept the position. I was never actually "interviewed."
Make sure you understand sales and how to prospect. Professional interview with manager. Asked sales related questions and how I would manage client expectations. It was definitely a positive experience
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Prudential (Shelton, CT) in Jan 2024
Interview
Although the interviewer was nice, you could tell they were trying to get people through the door and didn't care much about background. They were trying to sell me the job versus the other way around, which is typically a red flag.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Prudential (New York, NY)
Interview
Interviewed for the New York, NY (Manhattan) branch. The whole interview process consisted of 3 interviews. First was an in-personal introduction to the role and the company, and where everything about the position and branch was broken down to you. This is basically just a time for the recruiter to gain a better sense of who you are, so don't stress about it. They are only going to spend a fraction of the time asking you personal questions. They are basic questions like, introducing yourself. Second interview was done over the phone, and this is where more traditional interview questions were asked. Nearly all questions focused around a "tell me about a time when..." style. None of them are super hard, and they should all be pretty basic if you have been through an interview somewhere else. The final interview was with the head of the branch, also done over the phone. This was more like a conversation than an interview. We basically just talked about the role, the lifestyle and culture of the role, and things along those lines. Overall, pretty easy interview process, and I had a good time with it overall. The time it took from applying to receiving the offer was just about a month, so the process was very efficient as well.
