      Underwriter Interview

      22 May 2013
      Anonymous employee
      Dunwoody, GA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at State Farm (Dunwoody, GA) in May 2013

      Interview

      Applied online on 4/1. I got a call either the next day or the day after that requesting that I sign an applicant disclosure agreement. The day after that I got a automated phone call and an email inviting me to take a preemployment test. Like any employment test, I would not worry about passing. The day after completing the assessments, I got an email saying my scores were competitive. On 4/24 I got an email congratulating me that I was selected for an interview that included a preset date and time. Luckily, I was already available for that day. The email also listed the job duties and the salary. Below average, about 5,000 below a competing national insurance company for the SAME exact position. 5/14 I interviewed in the BUSY operations center in Dunwoody. It's a nice building, brand new, with tons of employees and tons of interviewees. I grew a lot more confident in myself when I saw how the other interviewees were dressed. Wear a suit, please, I realized then that many people don't know to do that. You'll probably stand out, in a good way, like I did. Anyways the interview was with the Underwriting Team. The team consisted of two underwriting managers, one from TN, one from TX, who had flown in just to interview for the position. I felt relatively comfortable (as comfortable as you can get in a behavioral interview). I felt confident leaving the interview. One of the managers told me this was the first day of interviews (it was a Tuesday) and they'd be interviewing through Friday (for 18 positions I believe). He said they hoped to have decisions made by the following week, but to give them until the week after that to make a decision. I grew anxious, as an earlier email told me it would take 2-5 days after the interview for a job offer or deniel. On 5/28, as promised by an email, I was received a contingent job offer. The pay is under average, but I accepted because of the location and because State Farm seems like a great place to work. I am a recent college graduate, with 2 years part-time customer service experience, moving from another state. I'm thankful that they considered me. Overall, the recruiting process is pretty superb. They lay everything out initially and leave little to wonder about, compared to other employers.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Explain/Describe a team where your work environment/style changed suddendly and you were forced to adjust. Why accounting? (My college major) I was slightly thrown off by their questions, as I had copied every behavioral question that previous interviewees on this site listed from their State Farm interviews, and my interviewers chose different questions. I still recommend to do as I did for the interview, and prepare answers for the questions listed here on this side. I gathered enough experiences with my preparation to morph them into answers for the questions during my interview.

      I interviewed at State Farm (Wayne, NJ)

      Interview

      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
