Allstate Applications Developer Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – I met them at the career fair on at university. Handed them my resume and talked to the recruiter the next day for a 30 minute on campus interview. Was then invited to onsite interview that lasted the whole day.

Interview Details – After an HR behavioral interview, I was asked to interview with a department manager. During the interview he asked me about my classwork and related work experience. He then asked me to speak with the senior developer that same afternoon. This was a technical interview where I was asked about my programming skills. I was asked to write sample code and debug pre-written code. This technical interview was difficult but not impossible.

Negotiation Details – There was'nt much to negotiate- I recieved a phone call from HR, they said that they would offer a full time position with all benefits and 35K to start. No negotiation- take it or leave it. I took it.

Interview Details – The interview process began with me receiving a call from someone from HR notifying me that they were interested. During the phone screen, she bascially gave me an overview of the position, and just asked basic questions about my resume and my experiences. The second interview was a phone interview with the team lead from the Northbrook office. Her interview was very situational and behavioral. This consisted of a lot of name a time when, and what do you do if this happens type questions. This interview lasted about 30 min. I was then invited for an onsite interview which consisted of 2 one on one interviews with people I would potentially be working on the team with, and 1 one on one interview with the big manager over the engineering teams. Everyone was very warm and friendly. The next day after I had gotten home, I received an offer and was given time to think about the offer. Overall it was a very smooth interviewing process.

Interview Details – In the preliminary phone interview, you will be asked some general questions such as why did you chose Allstate, why do you think you are a good fit for the position, for what reason you chose such career path, tell a little bit about your previous experiences, and the weirdest one is to tell about a situation when you tried your hardest but did not achieve the expected results. Then they will email you asking to complete the application form with some extra information and if you pass that, there will be an interview with a hiring manager.

Interview Details – It began by speaking with a representative at my university career fair. Then, I got the opportunity to interview on campus for a 1:1 interview. They asked basic behavioral-type questions. Then, I got the offer to interview on-site. There, I had two 1:1 interviews. The first was with a hiring manager and consisted of more behaviorial-type questions. The second was an application developer. He asked many technical questions and was very kind if you did not know an answer. That was it. Pretty easy interview.

Negotiation Details – I managed to get a bit more out of my salary just by asking whether the offer was negotiable. My advice would be to research the industry / area salary average, and just ask them if it is negotiable. It doesn't hurt.
