I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Unum (Portland, ME) in Jan 2013
Interview
It's long, thorough, and can be a bit overwhelming. That said, for various HR positions, they try to get a lot of business perspective and weigh in on the hires. People are fairly transparent when you ask them about the culture, challenges, strengths, etc.
It was easy and straightforward. It moved by very quickly and I had a great experience. HR was responsive and kept me updated through the process. Overall, it was a nice interviewing experience.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Unum (Chattanooga, TN) in Mar 2023
Interview
The process included a phone screen, 2 zoom interviews, personality test and an assessment/project. After completing the full process, was told the position was eliminated, I was overqualified and the job was reposted the following week.
The project/ideas I submitted as part of my interview process have since been used by Unum which is disappointing since I wasn’t compensated for those contributions.

Typical interview questions; phone screen mainly about work experience
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Unum (Chattanooga, TN) in Aug 2019
Interview
I had a 30 minute phone interview with the recruiter then an onsite interview. The onsite interview was a bit odd, one interviewer was very nice but the other I got some odd hostile vibes from. When I asked at the end if the hostile one had any concerns about me for the role, she said "I don't discuss that in the interview." I had never gotten a response like that before so it was just embarrassing and off-putting. The good thing was that the recruiter actually CALLED me soon after to let me know they were not going forward with me in the process which I really appreciated. Most people just send a denial email these days if you get any response at all.
