Interviewed Dec 2011 (took a day)
I gave a resume at a career fair, and was followed up with by email. I think I got the email more than a month after the career fair, and I was asked if there was a time I could set up a phone interview. I agreed and received a call exactly at that time. This was not a position I was very interested in. The interviewer asked many standard questions, a couple asking for specific examples. At the end of the interview I asked a couple questions, and then I asked if their was any room for horizontal movement from this position within Travelers, because I was not particularly interested in underwriting (I didn't say that though). The interviewer responded that they were really looking for people who want to do underwriting because of the long training process. I thanked her for her time and we ended the call. I received an email a week or so later that they were moving forward with other candidates. (Not surprisingly)

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Hartford, CT (took 5+ weeks)
1 - Applied online
2 - Received call from recruiter 16 days later to schedule phone interview for the following day
3 - Phone interview with recruiter, was 20 minutes late for the scheduled call, was very fast paced with the questions and seemingly wanted more personal details than professional experience details at one point (which was simply put - uncalled for and unprofessional especially this early in the process let alone at all). At the end (after about 45 minutes), was told I was being forwarded on to the hiring manager of which I would hear back within 1-2 weeks regarding next steps as there is only a weekly checkpoint with the hiring manager to get approval on who they are interested in moving forward with.
4 - Despite my follow-up inquiries, I didn't hear anything until 3 weeks later that they were moving forward with other candidates. If there is one thing to say at this point, the rejection was a personal e-mail versus automated form rejection message...

Interviewed Jan 2010 (took 2+ weeks)
I was called one day to set up the first phone interview. 1st phone interview are very general questions: location preference; expected graduation date; where do you see yourself in 5 years; why do you apply travelers?; what experience do you have; Do you have any previous intern experience? The second phone interview is more technical.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in Windsor Locks, CT (took 4 weeks)
Started off applying online then received a phone call a few days later asking to set up a 15 minute phone interview. This phone interview was fairly easy first describing what the job entails and asking basic questions like: tell me about yourself, what did you like/dislike about previous employer, what computer programs do you have experience with, and why Travelers...At the end of the interview i was asked to set up a day to go in for a 4 hour skills test. The first part of the test was a 5 minute typing test, making sure you can type at least 35 words per minute. However, it wasn't a standard paragraph and sentence typing, it was data entry, such as people's names and addresses. Still fairly easy. If you failed this part they send you home, if you pass you go on to take the 5 parts knowledge test. This test was really easy as many of the questions they provided the background policy information in the example and you have to decide what the outcome would be. Other questions included finding typos, basic math, and writing skills.
I passed everything on the test and was called the following day to set up an in-person interview. I showed up a week later and interviewed with two people at the same time. They alternated asking me questions and it lasted over an hour. I think it went very well as afterwards they went into the hallway and came back ten minutes later saying they wanted me to also interview with their boss at that time. Obviously I agreed and the boss came in several minutes later. This part was much quicker, about 30 minutes and was also quite easy. This was the finals step in the process as they told me I'd hear back within two weeks of that interview with an offer or not. It's been 1 week and I believe they were going to stop interviewing people today, so any day now I'm hoping for the call to get 1 of the 12 open positions they're hiring!

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 2 months)
Through school, I introduced myself to the recruiter and emailed him my information. I had a phone interview a few days later with him and he let me now he would keep me in mind as positions became available in underwriting. About a month later, I received a call from the recruiter and he let me know there were 4 trainee positions. We set up times for me to interview and I ended up receiving 3 job offers out of the four divisions I interviewed for at the company. I had 11 interviews total, very exhausting but worth the effort. Advice: know the company your are applying for, why you want to work for them, their competition, and know why you would be good for the job you are applying for. They will ask you about your strengths and weaknesses, sales questions, etc.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Houston, TX (took 5 weeks)
I applied for this position back in November of 2011 and received a call from the company a few weeks later to schedule a skills test. The skills test consisted of a typing test that was either pass/fail, and was followed by a five part multiple-choice exam including sections on basic calculations and grammar/usage. I was told that if I passed the exam I would receive a call within a week to schedule an interview. I was called the next day and had an interview scheduled for the following week. I interviewed with two managers who asked me questions primarily concerning my previous work experience. The interview took a little over an hour to complete. It has now been a few weeks since my interview, and I received a call a couple days ago from one of the managers asking if I was still interested in the position, and that they would be making their final decision sometime next week. I suppose I will find out next week whether or not I got the job. In summation, the interview process has been long and drawn out, but relatively low-stress.
