I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Travelers (Diamond Bar, CA) in May 2014
Interview
I applied for a job on travelers website on 4/14. Received an email to schedule a phone interview on 5/2. Passed the phone interview. Went on the next step, which was in person screening. Received a call the very next day to move on to the next step, which was a panel interview. This was scheduled two weeks out. In the mean time I prepared for the interview thoroughly. I wanted to make sure I did well because I was determined to receive a job offer. The panel interview was a little surprising because there were 4 other interviewees that I was not prepared to see. I thought for a second that it was a group interview and I would have probably walked out if that were the case.
We basically played round robin and each person interviewed then switched to the next interview. There were a total of 5 all together.
During the interviews I believed I really gave it my all and even after a couple negative moments I was able to quickly turn it around to the point where I felt confident that I impressed them under pressure. Also, on 2 occasions, I had my interviews say “Wow” when I asked them my questions at the end.
Good Impressions:
Most interviewers were very attentive and seemed interested in what I was saying.
They looked like they were taking very thorough notes
They also seemed unusually pleasant, only way I can describe it is right out of the movie Pleasantville
Bad Impressions:
One of the ladies being on her phone and texting here and there
During one of my interviews I was, quite literally, interrogated about my length of time in college. School part-time, working full-time definitely makes the four-year plan out of reach.
Another woman basically rolled her eyes at me during my interview.
It seemed like icebreaker jokes went right over their heads. Very serious people here
One of the other candidates decided to leave during the panel interview process and I am certain it was based on the lack of friendly questions asked by the two ladies there.
Based on recent reviews of how the company runs and operates, I believe receiving no offer was a blessing in disguise.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Were the personal questions, ie, length of time in school. I felt judged on something that I deem a personal success story.
The interview process was weird. I had multiple interviews in one day. I thought that was strange. There is a manager interview, then a peer interview, and then the final interview of the day is with the VP and HR.

Interview
After submitting my application online, I received an email to take an online assessment. Upon satisfactory completion of the assessment, I was emailed 2 days later to schedule a phone screening. There were 2 Zoom interviews after that and an offer was made a week after my final interview. Overall, the process was easy and you can tell that they thoroughly assess all applicants prior to making an offer. Lots of STAR questions, so prepare for those.

Name a time you caught and corrected something that wouldn’t have been caught otherwise.

Interview
The interview process was absolutely wonderful. Every single person I interacted with was very kind and helpful. Just a heads up tho, it is a lot of behavioral questions. Look up the STAR method and utilize for your interview. Other than that, the process is lengthy. As they take there time to thoroughly interview a candidate. I went through 3 interview process before hearing decision. Phase one is with the recruiter, then phase two is with the person in charge of your team. Lastly, phase three is with the big boss and senior HR. I really do hope this helps anyone else interview process with Travelers. Good luck everyone!
