I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Progressive Insurance in May 2015
Interview
Progressive has the most competitive and thorough hiring process when compared to other places I have applied to. Submitted resume, had assessment test-if you do good on this you go on to the phone interview and if they like you you then get the interview with the manager at your local office. After this they do a very thorough background check. If you don't want them calling your college or previous employers DO NOT PUT ON RESUME. They will call every employer to verify that you worked there and they will also verify that you graduated college. About 300-400 people apply to each position so it is very competitive.
