Interviewed Feb 2009 in Bloomington, IL (took 6+ weeks)

Applied online. They called me to set up a pre-interview test. Tested and met with HR representative for department. Set up a 2nd interview with hiring manager and her peer. Had a 1 hour discussion/interview with them. They asked about my skill set and knowledge of State Farm. Had a 3rd phone interview with hiring manager and different peer to discuss education and likes/dislikes. Was offered position 3 days later. Whole process lasted about 45 days. Great company!

Overall Positive Experience

Received and Accepted Offer

Interviewed Oct 2007 in Bloomington, IL (took a day)

The initial conversation worked through contacts from previous temporary positions. I believe that there was no HR representation present during the interview because of that.

I was never asked any situational questions... most revolved around past accomplishments and the tools and techniques I used. I believe that is very different than most of the positions within the company.

In general, fitting into the midwestern culture of State Farm is very important. I was surprised to find that my management was so quantitatively minded.

Interview Questions

No question really stuck out, but I knew what they were looking for going in... State Farm is very committed to a few large vendors and, in technical positions, interviewers often look to see those technologies (SAS, Websphere, DB2) on the resume.
