Inbound Phone Manager at Travelers Companies
No Offer – Interviewed in Elmira, NY Apr 2013 – Reviewed May 26, 2013
Interview Details – The interview process consisted of a phone screening by HR followed up with a first round of interviews with 4 people (2 sessions). I was then asked back for a second round of interviews with 7 more people (3 sessions). All together, I met with 11 people for a position that was not even a high level position. They didn't even coordinate their questions, so I was answering the same questions over and over again.
Interview Question – The interview questions were basic behavioral questions, none really difficult. However, the manner in which the questions were asked was rapid fire. I felt like I was on a witness stand instead of having a conversational dialogue. It was rather exhausting. I have not had any other interviews with other companies that could compare to this.

Claims Representative at Travelers Companies
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Overland Park, KS Jun 2010 – Reviewed Apr 9, 2013
Interview Details –
There will be a phone interview, that will go through a series of behavioral questions. Will only last about 30 minutes. Really helps to know someone that works for the company to use as a reference. There may be a test depending on the department. Test will be given for any property, or auto position. Workers Compensation does not warrant a test. If you pass your test you will be interviewed by a panel of Unit Managers. Typically 2 or 3 with 1 being the manager that you will be under. The interview format is all behavioral questions. If you do well in the interview you will meet with the business Line lead and sit with an employee that currently does the job you are applying for. Be sure to ask them questions and appear interested because they are apart of the process and submit their feedback. You will receive an offer via telephone and it will be contingent on passing a drug screen and background check which includes , credit, criminal and driving record. If you successfully pass the background check you will be contacted and offered the position.
Process takes 1-2 months.
