Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
questions about background, experience, and other general questions. No behavioral questions in the phone interview and it was pretty easy. The interviewer asked my expectations about salary, but the most they could offer was much lower than I thought. And they also needed people immediately, cannot wait for another 6 months..

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Metairie, LA (took 2 weeks)
I made a sales call to an employee of MetLife who told me he liked my approach and attitude during the call and mentioned that he held his P&C license as well. Because I was unhappy with my current position and the call had gone well, I called him after work and asked his advice as to what I should do with my P&C license. We talked for about an hour and he told me to come to his office a few days later for coffee and to discuss this more. As he was a producer, I wasn't expecting an interview, just coffee like he said. When I arrived, he showed me around and introduced me to the sales director, whom I had an unexpected hour and a half interview. The interview went well enough to get called back the next week, as long as I completed the online job application and passed the Virtual Job Tryout, which took about 3 hours total. I did quite well in some areas and not so well in others of the VJT. However the total score was enough to get called back for a second interview, which I thought went well, too. Apparently it didn't, because I waited about 3 weeks and never heard anything back. Honestly, after the second interview, I wasn't too high on the position and it's safe to assume they weren't too high on me. However, I felt it was quite unprofessional to not communicate and let me know they decided to go another direction. I had been interviewing with 2 other companies during this entire time and decided to go with one of the other companies around that 3 week mark. I sent very nice and professional emails to the 2 people I'd met at MetLife and the 2 people I'd met with at the other company I decided not to go with. Within two minutes of hitting send, the 2 people at the 3rd company had replies with a 'congratulations' or 'best of luck' or 'nice meeting you', etc. I still have not heard back from the 2 at MetLife. While it's a minor issue to get hung up on, I feel it reflects very poorly on the character of their employees and doubt I will ever do business with them on account of this interaction. Yes, I am a stubborn person.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Somerset, NJ (took 2 days)
I was a consultant for over a year, then referred by an employee to come on full time. The process was very structured but comfortable and transparent. I appreciate the fact that they interviewed others and came back to me, it assured me that the process was fair. I interviewed with my direct leader, 2 team mates and VP. So very through and informative yet comfortable.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in Houston, TX (took 2 weeks)
one on one meeting with Regional manager at the local corporate office. We had about a 45 minute discussion about my background and expections of the firm. After the meeting he took me on a tour of the facility and introduced me to several staff members and other managers. It was followed up with an offer to come to a 2nd meeting.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Nashville, TN (took 5 days)
I posted my resume through the Career Center at the university I attend. I was given a call within 3 hours. I spoke to someone in HR and we scheduled a time to talk about the position via phone. After this interview, we scheduled a time where I could come into the office to meet with the Branch Manager. During the interview, the manager seemed very scatter-brained and forgot several times things that he had already gone over. He went over th "Project 200" and at that point I politely told him that this would not be a good fit and thanked him for his time.

Reason for Declining
I have received offers and quite frankly did not want to work under the management in that office.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Walnut Creek, CA (took 4 days)
The interview was not as formal as I thought, two of the four interviews were basic presentations about the job and the company that gave me not much new information than I already researched. You also have to take a test, but it didn't seem too difficult. The process was pretty smooth, and it was much easier than I thought it would have been.

Interviewed Jun 2011 (took 3 days)
I was contacted by an in-house recruiter in response to my online application. The initial interview was with the hiring manager and a direct report. On the second day of interviews, I met separately with 6 individuals; then traveled back a third day for the last individual (who was not available on day 2, but important to the decision). None of these individuals asked any of the "HR" questions we are warned to expect. The focus of the interviews was on the integration of the operation and expectations for the role. Everyone was very courteous and helpful. The HR recruiters were very helpful and stayed involved in communication, scheduling and follow-up. In the end, they apparently convinced an earlier (in-house?) candidate to take the role. The recruiter offered to assist me in pursuit of any other position spotted online.
