Interviewed Jan 2012 in Englewood, CO (took a day)
Met with manager and HR rep in a conference room. Asked many basic personality questions. Plus asked insurance questions for a position not requiring experience. It appeared to be a test of thinking on our own.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took 2 days)
My interview experience with Nationwide was wonderful, even though I didn't make it to the second round of interviews. I was one of three interviewing for a litigation position, but I was the only out of town candidate. The first interview was to be held in the local office. The hiring attorney went out of his way to try to interview me via video messenger. The effort was impressive. In addition to the manager of the local office, the regional manager and an attorney whose role is sort of quality control also interviewed me. The interviewers were polite and friendly. Nationwide is looking for attorneys with quite a bit of trial and personal injury experience.

Interviewed Jul 2009 (took 4 weeks)
Interview started out with HR calling me. They asked very basic questions to ensure I met the minimum requirements for the job. A week later I went to the home office and interviewed with three managers. One of which was the hiring manager. I met with one of them in a 1:1 interview. This manager asked very technical questions. The other two I met with asked soft skill questions. Overall it was a very good experience and the company is a great place to work.

Interviewed May 2011 in Columbus, OH (took 2 days)
I interviewed for an internship. The first person I interviewed with worked with the architecture department. The second person i interviewed with worked with applications development--this is where I accepted a position. Approximately two weeks later, I received a phone call from talent acquisition. I worked as a contractor and my paycheck was distributed by a company called Innosource. Innosource did a background check and a drug test.

I had a phone interview from Nationwide for an Associate position. I thought it went well, but I never received a call back. After calling to check my status, I found I did not qualify for the job. Bummer.
