Interviewed Sep 2011 (took a day)
I had telephone interview and I believe it went well. It lasted around 20 minutes. General questions asked. I was told that I would hear back by either a phone call or an email within 7 to 10 business days. After the 10 business day I called once a week to see where I stood at. I kept on being told that they were reviewing the phone interviews.. Got email early Nov. that the position was no longer available..

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took a day)
Attended information session and applied with resume, cover letter and transcript. Interview was mostly behavioural, resume based and asked questions about my previous work experiences. It was 3-30min sessions with a two person panel every time. Interviewers were courteous and professional. I thought it went really well, but didn't get second rounds.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Warren, NJ (took 1 week)
I applied for this position online and right away i received an email next day asking me to schedule a phone interview. After scheduling for phone interview i recived a phone call from interviewer exactly at the time i mentioned. The lady asked me behavioural questions as well as technical questions it went well and i was told that i will receive a email for the next step of the interview process. Next day i received an email requesting me to come for face to face interview. Interview scheduling is handled by outsourcing company and i mentioned the time slot and day when i was available for interview. After comfirming that i received an email that i will be meeting 4 persons one by one out of which 3 were face to face and 1 was phone interview. The same evening after scheduling myself for the interview i received a phone call from recruiter requesting me to change the time slot for last step of interview which was phone interview since the hiring manager had a meeting. I rescheduled my timing for phone interview. So i went for face to face interview one by one and first i met VP of IT department. We barely had discussion for 10 mins and i was out of the door and after that she introduced me to Sr. Information Architect of IT department and after 30 mins i cleared that interview as well finally after meeting them i was introduced to the actual employee of that particular department and she made me familiar with the role and she asked me some questions. I had discussion with her for almost 40 minutes. After face to face interview i was scheduled for Final phone interview the the Lead of IT department and she was going to interview me on the phone the next day. So i woke early in the morning did some research and took a day off from work. I prepared very well for ther interview and i was waiting for the phone call at 11:30 in the morning. Unfortunately this is where things were screwed up. This lady never called me and then i called chubb helpline number asking for the reason i didn't get a call. My phone call was answered by outsourcing company so they put me on hold and called the Lead of IT department guess what that lady was busy having meeting again. So the recruiter requested me to send him an emailing requesting another time slot at which i can be reached. So i send an email to the recruiter giving him time slot. After that i never heard from the recruiter and when i emailed him about the updates he called me saying that managment team which i met face to face like me so much but as of right now they have considered someone internally also he added that in case if they want me he will call me next week again. I didn't say anything but this was a total unprofessionalism and tardiness showed by the Chubb group. I waisted my whole day without getting any results the funny thing is that the recruiter still kept me hanging saying that in case if they change their decision he will get back to me. If they really wanted to hire someone internally then why they called someone from outside ? Also there should be professional approach to notify candidates in case if they are not selected in my case i was setup interviewing with 4 people 3 people from management would interview they would like me they would introduce me to everybody and all of a sudden last person won't conduct phone interview and then they will just say that they wanted someone from outside......what a nightmare ? I would never go there again.....

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took 4 weeks)
Started with a phone screen/behavioral interview. The person on the phone was robotic and typed all my answers. Said I'd receive an email either way. Few days later got an email to set up a 1:1. Went in for an interview and there were 2 individuals asking questions about my previous claim position and it was pretty easy. Met w/a manager for 2mins... got a call from a recruiter 3 weeks later with offer. Salary was not acceptable and asked the recruiter to go back with my reasonable salary. Recruiter did not want to and said this is probably the best they could do. The salary level was more in-line with entry level / call center and I asked to please go back. She did and called me back in an hr and said it was not accepted. I thanked her and said I am not interested. The recruiter tried to upsell the position but the salary was too low. I was lucky to have interviews with a competitor who was in the same lines of business and they offered me a salary that was fair and in-line with the job description. I don't know much about this co. but they are not small so I am surprised at the salary they offered.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Salary too low. Which did not make sense to me from the job description. The salary was more of an entry level / call center salary. Maybe the job description was not totally accurate.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Warren, NJ (took 3 weeks)
The interview was very well hosted. It consisted first of a first round interview on college campus, where I spoke to two different people about general things, such as things I enjoy, what classes I've enjoyed, my major and such.
The second round of interviewing was at headquarters in Warren. It was 3 one on one interviews with managers within the accounting department. It was a continuation of the interviews before, but was still more general in nature. They were very friendly, and the questions were meant to see of you as an individual.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 2 weeks)
Phone interview was done by an outsourced firm. Took about 45 minutes. Interviewer was very down to earth and polite. Typical "Tell me about a time" questions. (when you failed, overcame an obstacle, made a unilateral decision, etc...). Received call for in-person interview 2 days later. Interviewers (there were 2) were 10 minutes "late" and acted as if it were the last place they wanted to be. Asked me about my background, what I am doing now, etc.... Asked me what I knew of the position, what position I enjoyed most in my past and why and that-was-it, people. I then got the "Do you have any questions for us?" and I did- I wanted to know what the position entailed, what the work-flow was, etc. Interview ended with "thank you" and I was literally out the door 15 minutes after we walked in. It seemed as if they were interviewing me to meet some "statistic" for polling candidates.
Being fair, I don't know if it was perhaps a bad day for the parties conducting the interview, or if something else was going on, but the whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth and the impression that this was NOT an environment I would want to work in.

First, they scheduled phone interview over e-mail. The phone interview lasted about 38 minutes, then after a day, i got a call to schedule on-site interview. Interviewed by 4 actuaries and lunch interview with 2 associates. They were welcoming and friendly, and the office environment was nice. Technical questions were asked during both phone and on-site interview.

Set the expectations early once they choose you. PRovide evidence as to whyyou should get paid what you want to get paid.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took a day)
A basic phone interview using an outsourced firm. Knew off the bat how it was going to go, when these large corporations use these firms, the interviewer basically gets a list of questions from the client and reads off the sheet. Problem is they cannot interpret anything beyond what is on the sheet in front of them.
For instance, they asked a bunch of "tell me about a time...." questions in relation to the position. But if you were to ask a question in return to clarify (so maybe you can give more specific details), you can tell they are sitting there like a deer in headlights, no clue how to answer it since they said they are only reading what's given to them. Can't blame the interviewer though, not their fault. Imagine calling some companies customer support for something and getting one of the outsourced call centers.
They can take a hint from one of their competitors in the market and have an experienced interviewer/employee who knows the actual lingo for the position conduct the interview.
If a company is still using these outdated screening techniques, it kind of gives you a hint of what the culture will be like. But you can also find this out from reading reviews on this company - lots saying basically an old school culture.
