Interviewed Jan 2012 in Raleigh, NC (took 2 weeks)
I received a call from the Allstate recruiter who asked me two screening questions. The next step was to interview with two seasoned managers at Allstate who showed a genuine interest in my professional accomplishments and work history. I was invited back for a second interview and spoke with two male managers who asked me questions such as "what does flexibility mean to you?" and "why should we hire you?" Well, it's a week and a half later and I haven't heard a peep from Allstate.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Northbrook, IL (took 3 days)
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.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Northbrook, IL (took 3 months)
The recruiter I met was great. He was very enthusiastic and helped secure me an interview with a hiring manager. I was first called by an HR recruiter as more of a screening interview. I then had a phone interview scheduled a month later with two managers. About another month later I received a call from HR with a job offer.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Los Angeles, CA (took a day)
I received a phone call from an recruiter and was asked a couple of behavioral questions. I was sent an online test that had questions about customer service and my background. I passed the test and an interview was scheduled the following week. I was interviewed in a room with three people and I was asked a series of behavioral questions. All three interviewers wrote down my questions on pieces of paper. I was told about the job description and benefits. I was not allowed to ask questions about the job from management but instead I was asked to sit with one of their employees.I sat with one of their employees for 15 minutes and she described the job to me. The employee did not have alot of examples of her work. After the 15 minutes I spent with the employee I was escorted out.
I received a rejection e-mail stating that the position had been closed. Two weeks after I received a rejection letter, a new ad was place on a job board for the same postion with the only requirement changed to "Spanish Speaking Desirable." Apparently this employer wants you to speak "Spanish" if you live in Los Angeles.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Northbrook, IL (took a day)
I applied through Experience.com 's Selective Liberal Arts Consortium's (SLAC) Chicago interview day. SLAC interviews are held in 3 or 4 other big cities in December. Students from the 8 or so colleges that are part of SLAC applied for interviews with multiple employers in multiple locations if they chose. Applications were due in October. Most employers responded quickly, but some took longer to let you know whether or not you got the interview. I interviewed for my first round face to face in December, and they emailed me in early January to let me know that I didn't get a second round interview.
It was a a pretty basic behavioral interview, I just wasn't prepared enough. I recommend people pick up "Job Interviews for Dummies" or a similar guide book. A lot of people are bad at interviewing, but there are good ways to make sure you perform well. I think I would have gotten a second round if I had been more prepared.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Atlanta, GA (took 2 weeks)
I applied through the Allstate website. I first received a phone call from the human resources department, headquartered in IL, about one business day after submitting my application. Instead of a phone call arranging a formal phone screening, they asked if I had time to do it right away. I went ahead with it and wasn't really prepared to answer questions such as "Name one situation where you worked in a group, and describe your experience" or "Name an obstacle at work or school you had to work through." Etc. Especially since I was driving home at the time. I thought I bombed it but turns out they emailed me 2 days later and schedule an in-person interview at their atlanta office. It was with two people from their finance department. One appeared to like me. The other seemed very hesitant of my abilities. They asked me situational questions as well as insurance-related questions. For instance, "how would discontinuing insurance policy renewals for homeowners affect the company." At the end, they asked me to prepare a presentation for them. They said there would be a second round of interviews if I made it through.
Took about a week to get an email about how I didn't get a job.
