I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at New York Life (Edison, NJ) in Mar 2016
Interview
The interview is pretty laid back. They are more trying to figure out if your values and career goals align with what they are trying to recruit you for (selling their insurance products) rather than seeing if you are intellectually capable of doing the job. There are three total rounds. First round is mainly about you followed by an online assessment. Second round digs a little more into your network of people and potential to do the job followed by the recruiter more or less selling the position to you.

Interview
Via zoom I was interviewed by two individuals that started off asking questions about hobbies and thing you like to do outside of work as an icebreaker. the other questions that they asked were pertaining to work history and how it connects with the the role you applied for. a good amount of customer based questions as well as sales questions. it was said everyone come in as a sales agent and the position is 100 percent performance based, no hourly wage attached. They stated the average agent makes around 100k per year.
3 part, 1st is very conversational, they pitch company and you get to know manager. 2nd is compensation interview, third is marketing. all run through manager who will eventually be your mentor once you get to New York Life

The process was fairly easy. I scheduled an interview within 3 weeks of submitting the application. The partner that I interviewed with asked personality questions and was much less concerned about work experience.
