Interviewed Mar 2011 in Worcester, MA (took 2 weeks)
For my position Hanover held a phone interview. Once I passed the phone interview they setup a formal interview that consisted of shadowing a current employee in the position I was applying for followed by interviews with management. The shadowing was for a half an hour. After that the HR rep asked if I was still interested in the spot. Next, I had 3 separate interviews with management. I received a call back with the job offer within a week.

I was so relieved to be offered a new job that I did not take advantage of negotiating, but I don't see why you wouldn't be able to.

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Milwaukee, WI (took 3 weeks)
The Hanover Insurance Group's hiring and interview process is very good. It starts with the initial HR follow up phone call after you apply online. Preliminary questions answered at that point. Following the initial HR interview comes a scheduled phone interview by HR in which they go into great detail about your prior experience and the relation to the job applied for. If that progressives and they see that you are a good fit, then its up to HR to forward the information on to the department managers/direct report manager. From there HR who is always the point of contact and always very accessible via phone/email will set up your face to face interview. If you make it past this interview you will typically have a second interview with the more senior manager of which may take place in person or via phone. If you make it pass this point it goes back into the hands of the hiring manager and whether or not they make an offer, if they do they will contact you and then contact HR to give you the formal offer details. At this point HR will go over the offer details and whether and ask if you tentatively accept them. If you give the nod they will send you a formal offer letter and preliminary welcome packet full of company information and benefits information. Once you return that they will begin the background check of which is very detailed. The Hanover's process in the background check isnt a one and done ideal, meaning that if something strange pops up you are not automatically disqualified. HR will actually call you and review it, send it to you via mail and if they need clarification they will allow you to rectify anything or explain in details or provide supporting documentation in order to assist them in justifying manually approving your background. From my experience most companies use third party background checks and its either pass or fail with no explanation or reasoning except for a letter from the third party company and typically a rescinded offer. Hanover looks at every person an individual and understands that people can have tough breaks and/or bad things happen in their lives, thus not allowing these human qualities or misfortunes to disqualify a qualified and valuable applicant from being a part of the organization.

Negotiation Details
Salary obviously. The Hanover allows you to give an acceptable range for the position based on your qualifications and preference and then when the offer is made they will tell you how they came up with it and if you disagree they will allow you to negotiate it further. Very inclusive.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 2 days)
There was a first round interview with two different managers from Hanover. Each interview was pretty standard, taking about 30 minutes each, with some basic questions about working in groups, presenting issues, public speaking experience, and all of the usual things you might expect, as well as some time to chat about personal experiences and ask questions of them. Then the second round consisted of four interviews, once again lasting about 30 minutes apiece. No more real surprises here, but some of the questions and interviewers were a bit tougher. I was then contacted two weeks later and they extended me an offer.

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took 2 months)
Their recruiter will say anything to get you in which is not a problem if you are looking for a job/change. but, if you want to be discreet or anything, you might not want to Interview with this company. They really do not have a good to manage between candidates. So, you can run into other candidates in between your interview with various people.
They ask question like tell me about you self, why should we hire you, difficult situation turn around etc., work in group setting, paperless or paper envioronment, which systems you have experienced in, how do you work in more than normal pressure. Overall, It was good experience.

Interviewed May 2011 (took 2 days)
Interviewed with HR over the phone to make sure I was a decent candidate. Then interviewed with a relatively junior analyst and one of the aspiring managers.
I was asked the dumbest question I've ever been asked in an interview ever by one of the older guys. I sat there in shock and had sour feelings about the whole interview and company afterwards.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Worcester, MA (took 4 weeks)
1:1 Interview on Campus followed a few weeks later by a round robin style set of interviews (4 half hour long interviews in succession). All behavioral although some interviewers tended to try and make the interviews somewhat unstructured.
Office and people were both upbeat. People seemed happy to be there.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Worcester, MA (took 3 weeks)
1st round interview was on campus, was a 1:1 interview. Also, a short skills/personality test was required, with basic math computation questions and some basic personality multiple choice questions.
2nd round was at Hanover. 4 1:1 interviews back to back, 30 minutes each. Very straightforward, all of the questions were behavioral, and basically friendly conversations. Everyone was very friendly, and enthusiastic about the company.
