Colloquio
First Interview was a phone interview that lasted about 30 minutes. Given some basic information, I was asked to estimate the water usage of a building that consisted of levels for different functions. It is more important to show your ability to analyze things than to come up with a number. The second round was composed of 4 30-minute interview. If you are not located in New York or Charlotte, you will most likely go to the local TIAA-CREF branch and do the interview over the internet. The interview was either one-on-one or two-on-one. The questions were mostly behavioral questions with no big surprise. You have to make sure that you know your resume very well.

Colloquio
I went into the New York office for four 30 minute interviews. Everyone was very nice and welcoming. They asked typical interview questions. Mainly they want to know why you want to be an actuary and what you are currently doing to pursue the career. Candidates should be able to discuss a project or work experience that demonstrates actuarial skills such as the use of programs and technology or an analytical experience.

Regarding the phone interview, I was completely caught off guard. I applied for their actuarial internship position a couple of weeks ago, and the first time I hear from them was an immediate phone interview right off the bat.
They only asked me three simple behavioral questions and the whole call lasted around five minutes, but regardless, I am extremely surprised at their interview process so far. No prior contact such as emails or any notifications, just go straight to a phone interview without even asking the candidate what's the best time to reach them.
I was in my room playing video games, with almost no prior research or interview preparation, then I get a call from them asking if I could answer a few questions.
I was not mentally prepared at all.
I am most likely not going to get a second round interview because of this "process".
