Interviewed Nov 2011 in Columbus, OH (took 4+ weeks)
Initially applied online to my college career website. Did a one on one interview at school with one of the VP's of the department, then did a full day of interviews on-site with the rest of the VP's, an HR rep, then the Chief Actuary. Everyone was really nice and easy to talk to. Each interview was 45 minutes in length, the first half consisting of the interviewer asking questions about me and my background, then the second half the interviewers wanted to know what questions I had, so be prepared to come with a lot of questions in mind and to discuss the company. Overall, every interview seemed more like a conversation than an interview.
Interviewers seemed to be most interested in leadership experience, programming experience, and commitment to passing actuarial exams. What impresses them most is a thorough knowledge and understanding of the company and motivation to work at Nationwide. Also, there are plenty of Buckeyes and Buckeye fans working for the company, so a good understanding and interest in Buckeye Football and Basketball might not hurt.

Interviewed Jan 2008 in Columbus, OH (took a day)
Met with a recruiter who informed me that Nationwide used a contractor-to-hire format. Interview was easy and quick. About 85% of my class finished the training process and within 6 months about 75% of the grads were hired on.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in Columbus, OH (took 1 week)
Very relaxed environment. I got to skip the initial phone interview because I was referred by an internal source and got to interview directly with my new manager which was a huge plus. We got along right away, he asked typical interview questions and I was told I'd hear back about a week later. I heard three days later and was offered the position.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Columbus, OH (took 2 days)
Described about the company that I was interviewing. Then described the position that they had and what they had to offer. From there, I was asked my knowledge about some specific areas. After that I was asked for my current salary and what my expectations were. Any objections for me to move to this new state. I was also asked if I had applied to this company before.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Columbus, OH (took 1 week)
In theory an internship with Nationwide would be great. They are very competitive and there are lots of benefits to gaining them. However, through my experience with their "Super Day" Interview, I would never want to work for them as an intern or full time employee. The overall interview process was exhausting but not too bad, there were four in person interviews and a phone interview. None of them are hard to do well in if you know your stuff. However, my problem with Nationwide is that they lack diversity on a level I have never seen in my life. I saw no women in high positions or minorities (latinos, blacks, etc). There were only Asians and Caucasians which is fine if you fall into that category, but if you don't it is very awkward. They don't mind letting you know that you stick out like a sore thumb either. By the time I got halfway through the process, I quit caring and just wanted to go home. In my opinion, there are much better companies that will pay more and are much more diverse. They should take a look at how Liberty Mutual does things --- now there's a REAL insurance company.
