Interview
Step 1. Online test. Step 2. Phone Interview. Step 3. In person interview.
Take note of questions the HR asks during the phone interview - They are similar to in person interview questions. The in person interview consists of a managerial panel, and they will typically ask about 5 general questions regarding your abilities to deal with stressful situations. They look for specific examples that answer their specific questions. If you pass the in-person interview you will be hired.

Interview
Interview process was fairly quick but took them almost 3 weeks for a response if they were going to move forward with me or not. Didn’t really get a good vibe in the interview. They seemed like they already had an idea of what they were looking for, which is a Caucasian male. Guess they prefer not to have a minority female in this role.

Interview process was easy and well established. I had a phone interview, followed up with a zoom interview. All in all it was a good experience even though I was not offered the job.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Allstate (Nashville, TN) in Dec 2018
Interview
Shortly after filling out the online application, I was emailed to schedule a phone interview. The phone interview was easy - basically a review of my resume and a couple of situational based questions. I was scheduled for a face-to-face interview for the following week. When I arrived, I was interviewed by a claims manager and an employee in the leadership development program. It became clear that they already had someone in mind for the position. I was only asked four questions - all behavioral based and relatively simple. After 25 minutes the interview was over. I received an automated email THAT NIGHT notifying me that I was not selected for the position.
