MetLife interview questions

I was initially interviewed on campus where I was asked why sales? I had no idea, but was able to sell my motivation to succeed the employer. She became a little condescending, giving me backhanded compliments like, "you have a great personality, but I'm afraid you aren't tough enough". It was strategy. I advanced to the final round of interviews where 8 people were interviewing for about 3-4 slots. We interviewed with 6 different people for 30 minutes each, then had to give a presentation on something we were passionate about. Between rotations we were asked to "hang out" in the conference room with the facilitators of the process- some lower-level employees who assisted in the organization of the program. They told us to get to know them and be ourselves, but I think they were watching us closely.

The hiring process was pleasant, and arranged through 2 interviews. The hiring supervisor was personable, as are many of the coworkers. But not all. But you get that everywhere. Their pay is fairly competitive and the hours are often flexible. Yet I think their cube farm office style, keylogging your work, frequent area checks of where you are and how high a volume you've worked, add to the corporate stiffness of Metlife. Worker moral is improved with room for advancement and a calm atmosphere, not by job insecurity and pressure.
