I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Allstate in Jan 2016
Interview
I received a call about 5-6 weeks after I applied. While the job was in Denver the first call was from one of their HR managers at their headquarters in Chicago. She was very nice and we had a great 20 min conversation. After that I filled out a one page test on my background and financial philosophies. About a week later I had a phone interview. I though everything was going great until I didn't hear back. I ended up taking a job with another company, because even though originally the HR was really good about returning my emails, after that interview she went radio silent. Despite the fact that she had told me to let her know if I got offers from any other companies, I called and emailed her multiple after receiving another job offer and she never responded. About four week after my initial interview I received a generic email telling me that I did not make it to the next round.
- Applied through a program for minority college students
- Was invited to a 75-minute interview that was broken into two rounds (both with two individuals in each round)
- First round was presenting a case study I had compiled before the interview
- Second round was more general behavioral questions

Question 1
Case study that was provided beforehand; just general behavioral questions
Pretty easy process. Did 3 interviews and mainly behavioral type questions. Research the company and be prepared to talk about past experiences and how you could contribute for the specific role. Everyone was extremely kind and friendly.

Interview
Virtual interview process that can be completed on your own time. Very user friendly platform. There were multiple questions all recorded separately so you weren’t just talking for the entire process, there were breaks to refocus.
