Manulife Financial Interview Experiences

30 min with 3 people from the internship committee, apparently all co-op students from the previous term. First half was them explaining the role and asking about my interest in actuarial work. Then toward the end they switched to quantitative stuff like binomial theorem and what a t-test does and then hypothesis testing applied to a business scenario. The hypothesis testing one was the toughest, review that from your stats courses. They were nice overall though.

Know the basics of group benefits products before going in. Teams call was with two people from the group benefits team. Behavioral questions about working with large datasets and a scenario where I had to explain how I'd automate a monthly reporting process. They also asked about my SQL background and comfort with tableau. The insurance context came up a lot.

OA was one big question split into three parts that build on each other, all practical implementation not leetcode. The onsite had data parsing and then an integration round with a real github repo and API docs.

HR interview then some questions about basic financial statements, what they are used for and when to use them, communication from recruitment was bad.

Just one interview, was caught off guard by some of the questions related to specific depreciation scenarios other than that standard co-op interview

Took 1 week total 2 interviews a couple days apart. Standard process HR round then manager round, technical questions were focused around CI/CD and Github mostly.

Smooth process, got the offer. HR round then actuaries. Exam questions and basic probability.
