Like another review says, negative experience although it may have been the recruiter's miscommunications to me. I worked temporarily & very briefly for Beazley prior to the pandemic; at that time I was told I'd be able to work from home but a day later they let me go. A year later, my same (external) recruiter called me saying Beazley was asking if I was available to come back for this position, full-time. She gave me a salary range and everything so I perhaps wrongly assumed they were specifically asking me to come back to the role, and was pretty excited. My recruiter told me they were just setting up a phone conversation that had to happen first...the following week I spoke for 15 minutes with an awkward HR person, not a single person on the call I had worked with before was on the call. It was solely behavioral interview questions and I was caught a little off guard. I was asked, "What would you say is your greatest achievement?" And then "What would you say would be the opposite of your greatest achievement?" So I said "...like a failure?" It was just a weird conversation and sadly this person determined whether I would make it to the next stage of a job I had previously held. After this "conversation" I called my recruiter who was up in arms, saying that a phone screen was not how they had presented it to her. She too thought they were asking me to come back. Maybe they were trying to fill an interview candidate quota, regardless I'm not impressed, and won't try to bring my talents back here. Waste of time.

I applied for the position and went through 3 rounds of interviews, first a 20 minute phone screening, then video conference call at their office, and then a series of one on one interviews back to back, each lasting about 45 minutes. The interview questions themselves weren't difficult, and their HR department would email to check after each interview, which was nice. Then came radio silence. I was given a day where I would hear back with next steps. The deadline passed. I reached out a few days later, and was sent a very chipper response extending the deadline. Weeks go by, and I don't hear anything. So I'm going to go out on a limb and assume they decided to go with someone else. Which is fine except that a simple rejection email would have been nice. Especially after 3 interviews and 2 days taken off work.
