I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at The Cigna Group (State College, PA)
Interview
There are supposed to be 3 successive rounds of interviews, each on a different date. I only attended one.
I was offered the interview after speaking to the Cigna recruiters at my college's career fair. The interview was 1:1, though some other candidates interviewing at the same time had two interviewers.
The interviewers all come with the same set of questions, printed out in a pamphlet. They jot down answers to each question as it is asked. They explain this before beginning the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The entire interview was completely behavioral, 5-6 generic behavioral questions, expected to be offered via the STAR method. There were no technical questions.
○ Tell me of a time you overcame adversity.
○ Tell me of a time when you displayed leadership
○ Tell me of a time when you had to deal with a difficult team member
○ What are your three greatest weaknesses and strengths?
○ Etc.
I was not that bad. I would say there final stage was almost 6-7 hours. But the actual interview process of that was 45 mins. They spend a lot of time talking about the company and ask you to ask questions to Alumni from your school and current employees.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at The Cigna Group in Sep 2025
Interview
There was first a recruiter phone interview. the second round consists of the first round behavioral. The second round is a super day that consists of the overview of the program with a case study with up to around 4-6 people in your group and individual behavioral round.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had to learn something in a very short amount of time.
One long day of three interviews and a lunch and breakfast. Kind of like a group interview style but the interviews were one-on-one. I would highly reccomened! It was not that difficult and i think they were more so looking for people who could communicate well
