      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at USAA (Phoenix, AZ) in Aug 2014

      Interview

      I applied online and it took 2-3 weeks to hear anything back. They emailed me an assessment which was basically a personality test and a few call center simulations. About a week later I got an email to schedule a phone interview. The phone interview was about 15 minutes long and just a few very basic interview questions. It was a little bit awkward because the interviewer was typing the whole time I spoke, but she was very friendly and easy to talk to. At the end of the phone call, she gave me the option of doing the second and final interview on the campus or over the phone (since I don't live in the area), and she stressed that it made absolutely no difference to her. I thought that was kind of weird, but I decided to just go to the campus and do the interview in person. We scheduled the interview for the following week. The in-person interview was also quite easy. The interviewer was super nice and made me feel comfortable, so that was probably why. They have a hallway of tiny rooms with thin walls and tiny desks that I assume they use specifically for interviewing, because there was a woman with the same interview time as me and they took us each into separate tiny rooms next to each other. Unlike others, I didn't have two people in the room when I interviewed but there was someone on speaker phone (she was from another USAA office in another state) who was basically silent the entire time except when she introduced herself at the very beginning and then when she thanked me at the end. The main interviewer (the one who was physically in the room with me) just asked a series of standard interview questions, some of them were even the same as the phone interview. She asked for a paper copy of my resume and skimmed over it. I had a list of references ready, but she never asked for them. She told me I'd hear from the recruiter I was working around the beginning of the following week. On Monday or Tuesday of the following week, I got an email congratulating me on the interview and letting me know that they were just waiting on a few more things from my background check.

      Interview

      Easy phone interview, Easy face interview, quickly hired as at that time they were making offers to just about everyone. Had to submit to fingerprints and gruling background checks, then went through a 2 week class to study and take the insurance license test for about 25 states.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at USAA (Tampa, FL)

      Interview

      A lot of ice breaker questions - the intent is to get to know you. Followed up with your typical "Tell me about a time when..." At the end a quick summary and then you have the time to ask questions.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Innovation, sales and overcoming objections, upset customer and multitasking. Wording is easy. OK to ask verifying questions and/or take notes. A big focus is on sales - need to prepare for that and have a really good example.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at USAA (San Antonio, TX) in Jan 2016

      Interview

      Online questionnaire, in-person interview with 2 people who started in my position and have moved up. It was a little strange because one of them made a comment about how long it took to get to where he was.

      Question 1

      How would you recommend other lines of business to someone who called for banking needs?
