Interviewed Jul 2009 in Hartford, CT (took 1+ week)
The whole interview was mostly focused on my resume. And there are also some behavior questions like what if there is too much work to finish and what will you do if you found a mistake during the presentation. also the HR asked whether I have some references within the company. What is the expected salary?

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Hartford, CT (took 2 weeks)
Received invitation to interview within 24 hours of application. That was very impressive. I was then interviewed by a very friendly recruiter who asked basic interview questions such as "why do you want to work at the Hartford?". I was then referred to the Director of the technical program doing the hiring. She said I was the last call of the day and that the interviews so far had been frustrating. She said the first thing she wanted to be clear about was that I understood the salary being offered because many of the interviewees had different expectations. I think this may have been because the job was advertised on The Ladders and is therefore supposed to start at $100K and instead started at $80K. Anyway, the Director asked a lot about my experience and was very open to answering questions. I really felt comfortable with her. She referred me to the VP who was very nice actually. I would say that I kind of blew that interview, but found the whole process very positive. I had done a lot of homework and that really showed in the questions I was able to ask.
At this point in my career, I do find it important to be very up front about what I''m looking for and finding the best fit company. The only negative feedback I have is that once the interview process was over and the let me know I wasn't selected, I wasn't able to speak to the recruiter or anyone to get feedback on the interview, what I could do to improve, etc. I was very persistent and found out later that as a matter of policy they don't provide that feedback.
All in all, I do think it was a good process with exceptional people.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Hartford, CT (took 2+ weeks)
Pretty standard process. Applied online and was contacted within only a few days to set up a phone interview. After the phone interview I was brought in for a group interview with nine other applicants. We were all interviewed in one room with 10 pairs of interviewers for a little over two hours.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Hartford, CT (took a day)
I interviewed for their Financial Development Program Internship which consisted of a phone interview and was then asked to come back for 5 one on one half hour interviews. They were primarily behavioral questions and focused more on getting to know me and what was on my resume. I got the interview through an employee referral.
Be yourself. They're most focused on getting to know you as a person, what your skill sets are, your past experiences and leadership roles. They want to find out what you can offer them. No real technical questions or big curveballs.

Interviewed Jun 2008 in Farmington, CT (took 3 weeks)
Typical questions: Why do you want to work here? Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Describe a difficult situation in past job and how you resolved it? Strengths, weaknesses....
Their interviewing process is nothing extraordinary.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
NEGOTIATE. Especially if you've worked for ANY other company. The Hartford pays notoriously low, especially in Claims, and they work you like a dog. When you fill out the initial application at your first interview, ask for a *mininum* of $40k for a Claims Processor Position and $45k for Claims Representative position.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Hartford, CT (took 4+ weeks)
The people I spoke with were great. I felt like it was somewhere I could really see myself working and was excited to join the team. The final on-site interview had 3 parts plus lunch and a tour of the company. There was a skills level interview, a personality interview, and a case study. They were all great experiences.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
No, I wasn't able to negotiate. It's a program with 20+ people entering and the idea is to be all friends and if someone is paid more it puts a damper on that. So everyone is paid the same.

Interviewed Feb 2009 in Hartford, CT (took 3 weeks)
It was terrible. First of all, they brought me into a room with two other interviewees to size all of us up. In the end, it turned out that they were only going to hire one of us from the group because he had an alumni connection within the company, and all the interviewers were alumni of the same school. The interviewers tore me a new one and it was hands down the worst experience ever. Fortunately, my next interview was a success and landed a better paying and more enjoyable internship.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Hartford, CT (took a day)
Only one interview so far, with a representative of HR recruiting. Very thorough and patient interviewer, prompted me to talk in detail about all my assignments (N.B. -- not only those from the past 10 years, but right back to the start more than 30 years ago. The interviewer gave feedback at the end of the 2+ hour interview, saying he thought I was qualified. He promised to get in touch within a week to give me an update.
