I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Progressive Insurance (Mayfield, OH) in Dec 2012
Interview
You apply online. Within a week, if selected, you have to take personality test. Within another week to 2 weeks, if selected again, you move on to the phone interview in which the STAR interview questions are asked. Within another week, if selected yet again, you move onto the background check. If you pass the background check (which seems to take a few weeks), you will then move on to the face to face interview. You will interview with the 1st hiring manager after your tour, which takes about an hour in total. You then will sit with an employee for about 30 minutes to make sure you are not intimidated by the job. Then, you will move on to interview with the 2nd hiring manager. All interview questions are the same STAR questions. The hiring managers tend to play good cop bad cop. The 1st being you happy go lucky friend and the 2nd showing no emotions and seeming tough as nails.

Completed a Virtual interview but it was not with a real person. I have to do an additional interview with the hiring team. I'm concerned that it will be a difficult interview.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Progressive Insurance (Willowick, OH)
Interview
The interview process was very long and thorough. I applied online February 20th . Received a email to do an online assessment test a few days later. Two days after I took the test I found out I passed and was to set up a phone interview. I scheduled the phone interview a week later so I could study for it. The phone interview lasted a hour. It was a very calm and enjoyable interview. The recruiter was very nice and casual and we spent a lot of time laughing and joking around. She asked me a few basic questions about my employment and education then went on to ask three STAR format questions. Give Very detailed answers and you will be fine. On the phone call I was told I did well and was moving on to do a background check. The next day I completed the background check and had a call to set up a in person interview a week later. The in person interview went just as well. I was greeted and was taken on a tour of the building then headed up to do the interview. The recruiter was a very nice lady , casual and laid back, laughed a lot. SHOW YOUR PERSONALITY!!! Make sure you give detailed answers and ask questions. I found out a week later I did well on the interview and they would be contacting me two weeks after the background check was complete. Two weeks later to the day I got a call from a recruiter offering me the job. Overall the interview process was very easy.

Application
I’ve applied on line for the call center position. The process took 5+ weeks. I interviewed at Progressive Insurance (Riverview, FL).
Interview
It's one of the most intense processes. There is an online exam and then a phone interview. After that there are two in person interviews. Plus you’ll get the chance to have a tour of the office meet and sit with a current rep in the company to see what you’ll be doing. It took a few weeks to go through the whole process but, it’s worth it!

Question 1
• The interviewers believe in the STAR method so they will ask you different things like "Tell me about a time you went above and beyond your job duties."
• "Tell me about a time when you had to make a critical decision on your own?"
