I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Progressive Insurance (Duluth, MN) in Jan 2018
Interview
The process is pretty simple, apply online, then phone interview with recruiter, if moved on interview with hiring manager. It is my belief that this particular job located in Duluth, MN was already pigeonholed for someone, and follow-up pretty much confirmed that. I feel that a lot of my time and gas was wasted for an interview that was fake. They needed to have four interviews so they interview four candidates, but the job was promised to someone else. I would say if you see the names Keith Peterson or Caroline Dilisio- probably forego the process, unless of course the job was already promised to you. Caroline Dilisio confirmed that this position is "Churn and Burn," not sure what Progressive would think of that description by one of their recruiters.

Question 1
Situational based questions on previous employment or school. Tell me about a time when you had to manage competing proprieties... use the SMART format. Again, this process does not really matter because jobs are given because of personal relationships.

Interview
Very impersonal and did not get to speak to someone in person everything was video recorded. It took a long time for them to finally decline my video interview. That's it

I interviewed at Progressive Insurance (Tampa, FL)
Interview
The interview process is pretty strenuous. You do have an assessment that you have to take. Before you get the in person interview. After you do the assessment you do have virtual star question method questions that you have to answer. If you don’t do well with that you won’t get the final interview with the recruiter or hiring person. Definitely study STAR questions. They’re kinda hard. And then the final interview they do ask you a few star questions as well. You can use the ones from your virtual interview. It was really easy-going though. I did appreciate how easy the conversation was for the final interview.
