I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at State Farm (Dallas, TX) in Nov 2012
Interview
Phone interview and follow up face to face. It seems like the interviewer was reading off the questions and checking a box. Due to this, it felt like the interviewer was trying to get a select number of people to interview and just wanted a body in a desk.
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

Question 1
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
