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.

Interviewed Dec 2010 (took a day)
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.

Interviewed May 2010 in Simsbury, CT (took 4+ weeks)
First was a phone interview. Kind of awkward, typical HR questions, interviewer seemed inexperienced or bored, didn't think I did too well.
Was contacted a couple weeks later for an on site interview. Consisted of two one on one interviews, and a second group interview. Nothing to stressful, explained the position and the department. A few questions on my experience and background. Took about 2 hours.
Thought the second interview went much better than the first, but never hard anything back.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Whitehouse Station, NJ (took 2 weeks)
The first round of interviews involved 4 different 1:1 interviews in one day, ach lasting 30 minutes. The second round of interviews involved 2 1:1 interviews with upper management and Human Resources. They are looking for people that are able to provide excellent customer service under sometimes difficult circumstances. If you can display perserverance, customer service savvy, and a willingness to learn the trade, you'll be fine. AND BE ON TIME !!!

Interviewed Apr 2010 (took 2 weeks)
I applied online and received an automatic email asking me to set up a phone screen. After setting up a phone screen a person from an employment agency (I assume they contract out to them) called me promptly on the date/time I chose. The individual asked me specific behavioral questions. She was typing everything I was saying. Asked me to stop talking for 30 seconds to catch up. And they told me that I will receive an email either way. After about 1 week I got an email asking me to set up an interview. After setting up the day/time I got a confirm of the interview and it explained that the interview may last up to 3hrs (it did not, maybe 1hr)! I was to meet 4 different people. When I went in for the interview I was only met by 2 managers. The interview consisted of verification of my past work experience, what I did, how I did it, what would my last manager say about me, etc... After the 2 managers left I met with a manager who just kinda asked very similar questions. I believe they wanted to corroborate my answers. It wasn't that hard and everyone made me feel at ease. I found the screening questions way harder as they wanted you to answer in a SOAR method (Situation, Obstacle, Action, Result). This is important for any interview. I was notified the following day that they wanted to offer me the job. Unfortunately we did not see eye to eye on salary. So I had to walk and take a job with one of their competitors. I've heard a lot of good things about this company so I sorta wished it worked out.

Reason for Declining
Salary was lower than what I was making currently and they were not willing to offer me my requested salary.

Interviewed Feb 2010 (took 1+ week)
The interview process was very well organized, but grueling. First had a phone interview, then on site at both locations (Warren and Whitehouse) where I had 5 interviews altogether. The people were very nice and I could see that they were very passionate about the work they were doing and wanted to make sure that I felt the same way.
