I applied in-person. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at State Farm (Atlanta, GA) in Jan 2016
Interview
I applied internally for an underwriter position. I received an interview notification within 4 weeks. The interview was performed by a panel consisting of two team managers and two section managers. I waited for another 3 weeks and was offered the position. I found the process to be fairly easy although the online external application can be somewhat tedious and could use some improvements.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Give me a time you were faced with a difficult situation. What was the situation, what did you do, what were the results?
Recorded response to multiple questions. You have the option to record answers 2x. You have some time to practice but it is limited. Then you have a phone interview where they go over you’re recorded answers and some new questions.
Two panels of three people. Not very difficult. Typical questions that you would expect. Basic scenarios around coworkers, calls, decision making. It was many years ago. I’m sure it has changed by now

How do you support something you don’t believe in.
Short sweet and simple. Video interview with no person involved. Series of 5 questions. Nothing crazy at all. You get two attempts per question so you can correct your mistakes
