Aon Product Manager candidates describe friendly, mostly behavioral conversations with managers, but the process can feel uneven, with long waits, newer interviewers and questions that stray from the posting.

Process Length
Three candidates' accounts of Aon's Product Manager process describe conversations that are mostly behavioral and scenario-based, not technical deep dives. One candidate who received an offer in early 2025 was asked about a typical day in their current role and how they would approach presenting to leadership. They described the interviewers as friendly, punctual and respectful, and said they connected well with the hiring manager, which made the process feel collaborative.
The weak spot is consistency. That same candidate waited two to three hours between some rounds and felt some were polished while others seemed ad hoc. Another candidate attended an in-person Saturday session at the Arlington Heights campus, waited about 45 minutes with a dozen other candidates, and was interviewed by two people conducting their first interview. When the scripted questions stalled, the candidate switched to a narrative walk through of their skills, and the conversation relaxed. Both interviewers reportedly liked them, but one was not fully convinced, and the result was no offer.
Questions can also drift from the posting. One candidate was asked about IT management and reframed their project management experience to fit. Another described a third round with an operations head that was almost entirely Lean and Six Sigma, even though neither appeared in the posting, and declined the offer afterward. Prepare a clear account of your product work, an example of presenting to senior stakeholders, and a calm way to steer the conversation when a question misses the role.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
One candidate described a first-round HR conversation that went smoothly and matched the job description. Another attended an in-person Saturday session at Aon's Arlington Heights campus, where a dozen candidates waited about 45 minutes before interviews began. Bring a concise story of your product background.
Candidates describe conversations with a senior manager or the hiring manager. One was asked about a typical day in their current role and how they would present to leadership. Another found that scripted behavioral prompts worked better once they turned them into a natural, narrative discussion of their skills.
Later questions sometimes went outside the job description. One candidate was asked about IT management, and another had a third round with an operations head focused on Lean and Six Sigma. One reported waits of two to three hours between rounds. Outcomes included an offer, a declined offer and no offer.
