Interviewed Apr 2011 in Philadelphia, PA (took 4 months)
I was initially interviewed over the phone and then caled into interview
with the hiring manager and potential co-workers; I did
not hear anything for several months and was called back
for a lunch interview; I did not hear for
several weeks and then was called by an internal
recruiter to have another day of interviews.
I then went back for a day of interviews. I ultimately did
not hear back either way. The interview process
was not well organized.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Bloomfield, CT (took 2 days)
The recruiter I was working with set me up with this interview. I drove in, spoke to a few of the programmers on the team for about an hour, and the next day I had their results. Nothing special, although they have a lack of conference rooms so our meeting was done in their cafeteria (which was very nice, but not a great place for an interview).

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Bloomfield, CT (took 2 days)
The process consisted of three interview rounds. The first was a standard interview, 2:1. No difficult questions, mostly just talked about myself and what was on my resume. The second round was four 30 minute 1:1 interviews. The questions were a little more challenging here. Some asked what you would do in a given real life circumstances. The third round was more 1:1 interviews where you talked more about yourself and your skills.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Hartford, CT (took 2 days)
The TECDP interview process is very intense, it is a two day event that consists of behavrial interview, group projects, and an interview. The final and most important part of the interview is the case study which is surrounding the foundations of the company, and problem solving. My suggestion is to try to gain a better understanding of third party payors in healthcare, and the process of billing insurance.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Eden Prairie, MN (took 3 days)
Everything about the CIGNA TEDCEP interview was great. It started with a presentation from somebody on my campus about their company and the TECDEP program. I emailed him, set up a phone interview, and was offered to come to Eden Prairie for their round 2 interview days. The first day began with some presentations about their company, a tour of the building, and a dinner where they split us up into tables of 6. 3 Cigna employees and 3 candidates. Do not underestimate the dinner (or any part of their interview for that matter). The dinner is part of the interview, and they will be expecting you to answer some of their questions, ask them some questions, and just in general, not act like a moron.
They then put us up in a nice hotel overnight, and the following morning we had the opportunity to head back over to their campus. The day consisted of a breakfast, lunch, and 4 'interviews' One was a one-on-one interview (very traditional), one was a presentation to about 6 Cigna employees about a school/internship project you've done, one was a technical case study based on what you told them you know (mine was in Java). Finally, there is a group project, where they just want to see that you can talk comfortably in a group, and come up with something halfway decent. It's an intense day, and as I said before, don't underestimate anything. It's deliberately intense to separate the great from the really great.
Overall, they seemed like a great place to work, and the TECDEP program seemed great.

Reason for Declining
I felt bad about having to decline their offer, but I received an offer from a different company that more closely matched my interests, so I accepted that instead.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, a Presentation, an IQ/Intelligence Test and a Skills Test.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 2 weeks)
The interview was rather brutal; not hard, but painful. Had the hiring manager on speaker (which was like speaking to OZ) and had two obviously unprepared interviewers going off of a "cigna interview questions workbook". Nice people, but the interview left me not wanting the job or anything in the dept.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
I received a call from a Cigna recruiter out of Chattanooga that just asked why I wanted to leave my current job. My reply was that I liked the job path that was listed on the web site. The recruiter replied "so you are not interested in the Underwriting position at all then?" Of course my response was no, it was just that I appreciated the opportunities the company had to offer. I was told that my information was going to be forwarded to a hiring manager only to get an e-mailed response from the same recruiter who said they were going with candidates whose qualifications closely met the requirements. My qualifications exceeded what was posted on their site. I was really disappointed that they lied to me and made a bad assumption off of one question.
