Interviewed and No Offer

Interviewed Mar 2011 in San Jose, CA (took 3 weeks)

Lengthy process, initially was not hired position but got a call back a couple months later being offered the position in other locations. I declined because State Farm does not provide relocation or housing assistance at all. Overall, the recruiter interviewing me was nice and helpful but he did not provide any feedback as to why I was not initially offered the position.

Interviewed Apr 2008 (took 1 week)

I attended a college job fair where State Farm was present and actively looking for Operation and Sales interns throughout the State. Operation interns required a minimum GPA of 3.0 and Sales interns just required experience. After speaking with the HR rep at the even an appointment was set to take an intelligence/logic test that took about 15 minutes (timed) it was relatively easy if you can solve problems fast. After receiving a call back the next day with good news a phone interview was done, took about 30 minutes with easy behavioral questions dealing with sales. A week later I received a call and the background check was done to finish the process.

Interviewed Apr 2010 (took 4+ weeks)

I got called in to take a personality test and assessment exam. The assessment exam wasn't to hard just some logic questions. You get told if you passed right away and then I was set up for an interview with their HR person. Interview was standard, mostly question about how you do in groups. A few weeks later I had a phone interview with the manager I would be working under and was then offered the job a week later.
