Royal London Interview Questions

Application

The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at Royal London (Edinburgh, Scotland) in May 2009.

Interview

The whole interview process took over a months time . The first round was core technical and was taken by an external consutant who are Subject Matter Experts in this field. The interviewer had good questions and was based on basic concepts rather than knowledge of tools. Second round was the Behavioral Competency round and after attending so many interviews and getting stuck in this round I have failed to understand what the interviewers are looking for in these questions.

Interview

Extremely NEGATIVE experience!!! Had first round interview, got a call within few days to say I got through to second and final stage. A whole 12 days later, a second call to say that actually you didn't get through to second round as there was stronger candidates. Extremely unprofessional behaviour!! Would NOT recommend!!!

Interview

The interview process for me was very slick. I gained an immediate feeling that Royal London wanted to recruit me and they did not mess around getting me back for a 2nd interview and getting me an offer. I had to work hard through the process and feel huge respect for the way it was handled.

Then role play over conference call - complete Factfind to financial advisor upon first contact with them. Lastly completing a presentation on a brief of their choice. Mine was how I would get my panel of advisors to increase business with Royal London over a 6 month period and how I would ensure we would partner up with these businesses over a longer term.

I applied online. I interviewed at Royal London (Edinburgh, Scotland) in June 2017.

Interview

Interview was brief and focused around the role specific skills and organisational fit. Some questions were competency based, like 'Describe the time where you had to manage stakeholder expectations', other questions were more focused around technical skills and past experiences. Overall, the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly - made me feel at ease.

Interview Questions

Application

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Royal London (Wilmslow, England) in June 2017.

Interview

interview was in 3 parts, a group task, a role play and a 121 interview with standard competency based questions, it lasted approx 2 hours in total and I found it to be easy, I was offered a better position than what I interviewed for which was a bonus however the process which followed took an obsurdly long time, you have to undergo background checks which is fair enough however I have had this carried out at previous companies and it took a maximum of a couple of weeks, it took Royal London over 2 months to give me a start date and I had to call them several times to chase it up as I had already handed in my notice at my previous employer, I had also contacted the company carrying out the checks and they had advised me they completed the checks a week prior so I don't know why it took royal London so long but it didn't give a good first impression. Overall experience at the company so far however has been positive and I am looking forward to a future there.
