Interviewed Nov 2011 in Northbrook, IL (took 4+ weeks)
I was called by Allstate to notify me of their interest in my resume I uploaded to their site. They felt that I had a skill set that fit the job and were interested in knowing more about information on my resume. Within a few days I received an email saying they liked our first phone conversation and wanted to have a 1 hour phone interview scheduled with the hiring manager in the department. Within a week I got that interview which lasted about 45 minutes and consisted of a thorough explanation of the job details after he gave me his employment background I I gave him mine. He asked about my experience with using Microsoft excel and any other software related to analysis. Within 3 days I was told that I am invited to an in-person interview at their headquarters with the hiring manager. I am now waiting for the interview this week.

There were logic questions and behavioral questions.
Logic: you have a 5 gallon bucket and a 3 gallon bucket. How can you measure out 4 gallons

Interviewed Sep 2010 (took 2 months)
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.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Nashville, TN (took 2 weeks)
I applied online and received an email and phone call a couple of days later. I did a short phone interview of situational questions, and then completed an online assessment they sent me. They emailed me the same day to set up a 1:1 interview in the next 5 business days. The 1:1 interview was actually me and 2 interviews. They asked me 3 questions, explained the training program thoroughly, talked about benefits, and asked for a brief summary about myself. This was a few days ago, so I am still waiting for the outcome. I must say that this was the best interview that I have been on so far. Everyone I spoke to at Allstate was so nice and made me feel welcomed. They were very professional and seemed to enjoy their jobs. I would love to be a part of Allstate after my interview.

Interviewed May 2009 in Macon, GA (took 4 months)
After submitting my resume online, I was then contacted to complete a skills assessment online. Based on the outcome, I was then contacted by a central hiring team and scheduled for an interview with local management. This process took approximately 1 month.
The first interview was 1:1 with the department manager & supervisor, asking the basic interview questions: where do you see yourself... how long were you at your previous job... why are you leaving your current position... best/worst qualities... ect. I was advised to expect feedback soon.
About a month later, the second interview occured between the department manager & her supervisor. It was more like he was getting a feel for me without really asking me for a lot of info. Most of my questions were answered in the previous interview, so I didn't have a lot of interaction during this session. I was advised a decision would be made "soon".
I was offered the position about a month later.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
I declined the offer because this was the longest interview & selection process I had ever experienced. Maybe I've been fortunate to apply, interview, and be selected in a more timely fashion with other companies, but this made me a bit unconfortable.
Also, the interviewers seemed a bit distracted during my answers. I wondered at one point if I was what they were looking for. I was offered the job the same week I put in my 2-week notice to begin work at another insurance company. Despite being offered a higher salary, I declined and kept the other offer.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Northbrook, IL (took a day)
Wasn't planned at all. Spoke with someone at a booth on my way to class and they took me in for a 3 step interview process. 1st interview was about skills and experience. 2nd was purely behavioral. 3rd was salary expectations. Received my contingent offer at the end of my 3rd interview. Took around 1.5 hours.

Reason for Declining
Salary was too low. Had other offers with much higher salaries.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in North Chicago, IL (took a day)
It was on campus interview. There were two representatives present and they asked questions about your resume and field experience. Then they ask you problem solving type of questions to see your problem solving skills. You didn't necessarily had to get the right answer but they wanted you to think out loud. Basically you had to say every step that you're thinking.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took 5 weeks)
The process was pretty sloppy from start to end. The recruiters were typical recruiters and had no idea as to what the job entailed. I was given different information through every step of the process and differing aspecting of the job. Recruiters didn't give correct information even for the final interview which was poorly conducted and highly rude, and involved a lot of their arrogance which is why I ended up turning down the job, plus the pay was not very good.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
I declined the offer because the entire process was sloppy from start to end and the personality was terrible of everyone there. You try to reach someone and they blow you off unless that absolutely need something from you (like to move on) if you have a question they dont answer it (by email or phone) they never return calls and they whole time you just know they care about their money and not the customer. If you want to end up being the one being yelled at by consumers with a company that thinks you are replaceable with no security and little pay then be my guest. I would suggest Amica (that place is great with extremely high ratings).
