I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Allstate (Northbrook, IL) in Feb 2009
Interview
Interviewed internally for an actuarial analyst position. HR was a positive, professional experience. Actuaries with whom I interviewed with were successful actuaries with normal-people personality skills. Nothing but professionalism in the interview on both sides. Easy to build rapport with analysts. Preparation was intense, and there were five interviewers (including during lunch with two prospective peers). A very rigorous experience. I would recommend people who can get into Pricing to work there.

total two rounds. HR call and manager interview. Everything is smooth and questions based on your résumé. Not too much behavior question. Interviewers are nice and patient. Got an offer within a week.

Interview
First I was asked to complete a HireVue interview (unlimited amount of time to record yourself, very relaxed and easy to complete). Then I was invited to do a 45 minute virtual interview with two actuaries which was kind of like a case study.

Interview
First round is a strange "virtual interview" with an AI agent/prompts. Questions asked were very basic, and along with the job description, suggests the office focuses more on basic statistical methodology rather than modern methods.
