I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Allstate in Apr 2012
Interview
Had a simple phone interview and got a call about 2 weeks later telling me that I would be receiving an email with a link to a skills test. I completed the test after I got the call and was sent an email 20 minutes later telling me that I had passed and that a recruiter would be in touch in a few days to schedule a 1:1 interview. After a week with no information, I followed-up and was told to call back later. After repeatedly phoning the call center, I was finally called back and told that I would have to be more proactive if I wanted the job. Needless to say, I choose a different path.

Question 1
Very basic. "Why Allstate?" "Tell me about yourself."
The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Allstate in Oct 2011
Interview
The process was pretty sloppy from start to end. The recruiters were typical recruiters and had no idea as to what the job entailed. I was given different information through every step of the process and differing aspecting of the job. Recruiters didn't give correct information even for the final interview which was poorly conducted and highly rude, and involved a lot of their arrogance which is why I ended up turning down the job, plus the pay was not very good.
