I applied online. I interviewed at Principal Financial Group (Hong Kong)
Interview
Very casual experience overall.
I was interviewed once over the phone by the HR manager. The in-person interview was conducted by one of the supervisors of the team that I eventually worked for. The supervisor was extremely busy with her other work, so the interview felt a little rushed and was mainly to confirm my abilty to do the tasks needed.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Principal Financial Group (Des Moines, IA) in Dec 2016
Interview
Submitted resume on an online portal, about 1-2 weeks later received a phone call for a phone interview which would be the next week. Interviewed with a woman over the phone receiving details about the internship, duties, pay, etc. and answering base-line character and leadership questions. Then I'm unsure whether I had to take a short quiz asking character and situational questions (I was interviewing for other positions at the same time so I may be getting it mixed up). Received a call the next day to set up a two-step in-person interview, interviewing with two different departments (two people each)-- so in the end interviewed with four people. The interview was at 801 Grand and the security staff were wonderful. After interviewing in person on specific past experiences, achievements and knowledge as well as answering situational questions, I called 3 weeks later as I had still not heard anything. Received a call the day after stating I had been chosen for the internship and since have been able to rank my department choices, and fill out background check information, etc.
