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 initially had a 20 minute phone Interview and an in office video conference that lasted around an hour. The interview questions were fairly standard overall. The team was initially great to correspond with but as mentioned by another person, after the video conference it was radio silence. I completely understand if I wasn't the best fit for the role, but common courtesy would've allowed for a rejection email at that point in the process.
