I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Allianz (Minneapolis, MN) in Aug 2012
Interview
I found the job via their web site. The HR was OK, but the hiring managers and directors were awful. Since I lived on the West Coast, I had to fly in at my own expense to be interviewed. It was a casual Friday at Allianz during the interview and I was totally appalled b the way they dressed. I understand it was jeans day but they almost showed up in sweats and flip-flops. The interview itself was not that difficult. I was not impressed by questions but in the end I did get the job.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Since I come from scientific background they wanted examples of my work from my previous employer. I had to explain that due to ethical and legal reasons I could no share it. Instead I had to create mock examples of my previous work and supply them with it. I also had to pull a copy of my graduate thesis as an example of my work. The worst part abut it was that the hiring manager was not versed in my field at all so it was very difficult to convey my previous work to him.
