interviewing at Cigna in about 3 weeks for a Senior Financial Analyst role in their enterprise finance group. would love to see what people's recent loops actually looked like.
specifically trying to understand: is the technical component Excel-based modeling or more SQL and BI tools? are the behavioral rounds competency-based or more conversational? how many total rounds are people seeing for finance roles right now?
anecdotally i've seen 3 rounds mentioned but also 4. trying to calibrate my prep time. drop anything recent, even if the role is adjacent.

went through a Cigna FP&A analyst loop last spring. 3 rounds for me: recruiter screen, a take-home Excel model (DCF and variance analysis, nothing exotic), and then a behavioral panel with two finance directors. no SQL in my loop but i've heard the data analytics adjacent roles do have it.

for any role touching actuarial or analytics at Cigna, SQL has come up in the past year. the questions were not hard, basic aggregations and window functions, but they expected you to explain your logic out loud.

i'd push back a little on assuming the loop is the same across business units. Cigna is enormous and the healthcare benefits side and the Evernorth/pharmacy side have quite different cultures and processes. worth asking the recruiter upfront which org you're actually in.

this is a good point, i confirmed i'm on the Cigna Group benefits side, not Evernorth. recruiter confirmed it's 3 rounds for this level.
