I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at State Farm (Tallahassee, FL) in Oct 2015
Interview
Several State farm employees visited my software engineering class. They promised great work-life balance and the like. Had a phone interview that essentially just went over my resume and asked a few basic questions. What is a method in java. Then the second interview which they asked countless behavioral questions in rapid fire. Name a time where you had to solve a difficult problem, and explain how you approached that problem. Name a time you had to explain a difficult concept to someone how did you do it. They essentially ask the same analytical based question 4-5x to see if you have multiple stories. I was tired, and was not prepared for this barage. They asked where do you see yourself in 2 years. I personally disliked the attitude of the people interviewing me, they seemed really cold. Best of luck if you want to work for state farm

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at State Farm (Dallas, TX) in Jul 2024
Interview
It was a three step process. I had to do an online interview via hirevue where you get random questions and have 2 minutes to answer. If you pass that round, you talk to the recruiter and they tell you next steps and the benefits package. For the real interview, i spoke with 3 hiring managers and it took after an hour.

Question 1
Give an example of when you used X? Like SQL, Excel, etc
HireVue video interview
Interview had around 5-6 general HR questions.
You will get practice time for each question. Once practice time is up, HireVue starts recording. It seemed fairly easy at beginning. I would prefer in person interview than this type of interview.
