Interviewed Sep 2010 in Lansing, MI (took a day)
I applied online and was invited, by a very straight/robotic HR person, to an interview (duration not mentioned). Wore a suit, got there on time, interviewed with 3 managers (about 1/2 hour each), each in a different IT division. They asked me general background questions, about my aspirations and future plans, why I'd like and be good at the job, and some simple situational questions (describe a failure you had..., describe a problem you had..., describe a stressful time you had...). We talked about the position, the IT department, and Auto-Owners in general. Two made sure I was ok with learning COBOL, and when I asked the 3rd he said because it's old technology that some don't like to learn, but it's used in most big businesses. He also said they're using more JAVA (I think) now. I was supposed to meet with the VP of something but he was a no-show, so my 3rd interviewer just toured me around IT as we looked for him and told me about the company. Everyone was plane and nice. IT is a cubical farm. Shirt and tie required. No technical questions at all, but one did show me COBOL when I asked about it... that's it.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Lansing, MI (took 3 days)
The first interview was performed on Campus at my University. It consisted of two Auto-Owners associated, one was a programmer, the other from HR. They asked me the generic questions, likes/dislikes, why Auto-Owners, where do you see yourself in five years, etc.
After making it through that interview I was asked to come to the Home Office for the 3+ hour interview. This interview consisted of 1 on 1 meetings with approximately 6 different people, all asking the same types of questions I was asked in the first on-campus interview. Not once was I ever asked a logic question or anything regarding programming, even though I was applying for a position as a programmer. I was asked more questions about my insurance knowledge, for which I replied "none, really".
I was called a day later and offered a position.

Interviewed Feb 2007 in Lansing, MI (took 1 week)
The company was prompt and helpful with the process of setting up the interview. There was only one interview, but it was rather epic. It was a face-to-face interview with 6 or 7 different people in the office building. Someone met me at the door, and we went to their office and he asked me some questions and gave me a general overview of the company, as well as how the interview would go down. Then he walked me through a farm of cubicles over to another office, where I was introduced to another person and the process continued. All of the interviewers had similar questions, most of which were personality related and not technology-related at all. I don't remember exactly how many offices I visited, but the whole process took three or so hours, and I was way lost by the end!
