I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Sun Life (Toronto, ON) in Mar 2023
Interview
In-house recruiter reached out to me about the role. Had an initial interview with HR which went well. A couple of weeks later, recruiter contacted me to say “we’d like to schedule a panel interview” AND “please write a case study”. Spent a few hours working on the case study and submitted it within the agreed timeline (had to be completed within 2 days, during the week, and I have a full time job). Crickets for 3 weeks. Then received another email letting me know that someone would contact me to schedule the interview. Crickets. Another week later, sorry but we’re going with another candidate. Dodged a bullet given how disjointed their hiring process is.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Sun Life (Toronto, ON) in Apr 2022
Interview
Had two interviews for two different positions.
One went directly to hiring manager other went to HR for standardized questions. Direct to hiring manager seemed slightly haphazard in their questioning. Overall not an unpelasant process, but doing things remote made things slightly odd.
