Interviewing at Marsh
What the process looks like, and what Marsh is really testing for.
Marsh’s interview loop combines recruiter screening with multiple interview formats that test both communication and technical execution. Across the reported roles, you can see Behavioral Interviewing and structured technical assessments, plus at least one recorded digital interview format (HireVue) and at least one final presentation to a panel.
The topics that show up most prominently are Business Analysis (percentile 100), Marketing Analytics (percentile 100), Ext JS (percentile 100), Excel (percentile 100 and 96), Project Management (percentile 100), Business development and new business acquisition (percentile 100), and Consulting Fit and Motivation (percentile 96). You should also expect a strong mix of DSA and system design level questions, because Data Structures and Algorithms is percentile 96 and System Architecture and System Design is percentile 93 in the topic set.
From the candidate reports, the difficulty mix is mostly medium, with 25.7% easy, 63.3% medium, 10.2% hard, and 0.8% very hard. The reported offer rate is 0.0%, and positive sentiment is 65.3%, so you should treat the loop as demanding and performance sensitive, while also assuming many candidates still leave with a reasonable view of the process.
The most distinctive signal is that the process leans heavily on business analysis and analytics plus communication and leadership style evaluation, including a final presentation to a panel. If your answers stay purely theoretical, you are likely to underperform compared to candidates who can clearly translate analysis into recommendations and present them.
