I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Aon (Chicago, IL) in Dec 2011
Interview
Brief screening call with HR; next round with hiring manager and a small panel of that manager's peers and the folks the role would work with (4 interviews total); offer extended a short time later. There were some delays between rounds which I found out later was due to the hiring managers availability, but at the time was very concerning
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Very focused on overall fit and "could I stand working with this person" type questions; technical knowledge and expertise was largely taken as a given. Tenor of the interviews were very relaxed and conversational as opposed to a "grilling"
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Aon (Londres, Inglaterra) in Jul 2025
Interview
Applied for job — nothing for a month — arranged 30 min Teams interview, went well then silence for two weeks — in-person interview, went well — two weeks no comms — then hurriedly asked for a “chat” with another team member which turned out to be a demanding interview (sceptical attitude, pointed questions). Silence for four weeks. Don’t mind if the answer is no but a very chaotic process and setting up interviews as informal chats is unfair and misleading. It’s common decency to at least confirm a decision and not leave people with silence

Question 1
Technical questions (about skills and capabilities)
I applied in-person. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Aon (Londres, Inglaterra) in Mar 2022
Interview
A number of meetings, always pleasant enough. Vast gaps between responses though, no information from the company unless I pushed for it. This was for quite a senior role, didn't even do me the courtesy of a reply. Even after I contacted my most senior hiring manager directly, no response, nothing. If this is indicative of the culture, it's highly shabby and must be a horrible please to work.
I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Aon in Jan 2019
Interview
Several interviews, drawn out process, generic/canned follow-ups. Recruiter extremely flighty and disconnected. Forced to follow up several times to get an answer on the outcome of the offer. Red flags all around! A giant like Aon - totally shocked to experience their outdated, untimely HR practices. Left a lot to be desired. Get it together Aon!

Question 1
Tell me about an example of a tough client you had to influence and what was the outcome?
