Reinsurance Group of America interview questions

3 first-hand experiences · See open roles at Reinsurance Group of America

Public first-hand accounts of RGA hiring all come from Wall Street Oasis and cluster around investments, valuation and analyst intern roles rather than the core actuarial pipeline. The shape is consistent: a short HR or recruiter phone screen, then a compressed on-site made up of several back-to-back 30-minute conversations with different groups (one 2015 investments candidate met six groups in a single Superday), with an Excel or markets-technical component bolted on depending on the team. Content is overwhelmingly behavioral and resume-driven; the technical bar candidates describe is low, and process length is usually under a month outside campus recruiting.

These 3 writeups cover finance, actuarial, data analytics roles. All of them were posted under a pseudonym (Reddit, GeeksforGeeks or forum handles), so we could not verify the authors’ identities.
