PolicyStat interview questions

While none of the steps of the interview process were difficult, the biggest issue was that not until the very end did I know exactly how many steps there were...and therefore how far along in the process I was. I initially turned in a hard copy of my resume to a contact at PolicyStat. Two weeks later (because I was from out of state) I was given a phone interview by one of the executives. Ten days later I was advised by another person at the company that, although they had my resume in hand, I would still need to fill out the online application. After doing so, I was scheduled three days later to take a 30 minute online work sample. Two weeks after the work sample, I was then interviewed (via phone again) by a human resources representative. Slightly more than two weeks after this second phone interview, I was scheduled to travel to Carmel for an in-person interview with representatives from multiple departments. What was to be a 2-2.5 hour interview turned into a 3.5 hour interview with 4 different employees/executives that I felt went very well. They must have thought so, as well, because I was then scheduled for the next step, which was yet another online work sample (this one lasting 90 minutes) that happened a little over two weeks later. A little over a week after this step, I was informed that PolicyStat had selected another candidate for the position. Honestly, each step went well. Each company representative I dealt with was very friendly and accommodating to my situation (being out of state). The long, in-person interviews impressed me with the personable interviewers who made the company seem as though it would be a great place to work. The biggest issue was just not knowing how many steps to the process there were and not knowing exactly how long the process was going to take. It was always a matter of sitting around wondering if they were going to contact me again, and if so...was that with an offer or instructions on "here is what you have to do next"? It was a 91 day process that ended in my not being selected.

1. Initial timed (30 minute) online work sample (complete tasks in time given, showing ability to pay attention to detail and ability to complete request on time as directed). 2. 30-minute phone interview with HR. 3. Second interview (onsite) with various members of the team. 4. Second timed (hour and a half) online work sample (pretend you're in this role, and respond to these emails). 5. Second (onsite) interview (I was not chosen for this final step). Although this was a long process, the person in contact with me took time to make sure I knew what was expected and answer any questions at each step. They clearly were looking for a good fit for their team, which I appreciated. And I felt each step was fair and not meant to "trick" you in any way. A very positive interview process.
