      Claims Generalist Trainee Interview

      16 Mar 2011
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Arlington, TX
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Progressive Insurance (Arlington, TX) in Mar 2011

      Interview

      So I applied onine and then took a test at the office. The test was easy, it is just a wonderlic test. After that I had a phone interview. The interviewer was nice and professional. Mostly consists of behavioral type questions in the STAR format. It went fairly well, however this was my first interview as a recent college grad and I was nervous. A week later I was called to set up an in person interview at the office. I arrived at the interview and was met by two interviewers. One was the corporate HR lady and the other was a male manager from the office. From the very beginning I felt like the male manager did not want to interview me and he was not friendly at all. The female HR rep was very nice and smiled and nodded while I answered the behaviorial questions. The male interviewer paid little attention and looked like he could care less what I had to say. The interview lasted around 40 minutes and overall I thought I did fairly well. A word of advice is to really emphasize your customer service for this position. I mean really sell your customer service! I did not focus enough on my experience with customer service and this was the reason the HR rep called and declined to give me an offer the next week. I have 5 years experience with cust service and yet she told me that I did not have enough...for an entry level position. Riiiight. In the end I am glad I did not get an offer, I would have turned it down anyways. The pay sounded decent but the hours sounded extremely unreasonable. If I had the chance to do it over again I still would for the interview experience.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Progressive Insurance (Los Angeles, CA) in Apr 2021

      Interview

      The process went like this; first I applied and sent my resume. I was then contacted to complete an assessment online. After that, the next step was a video interview consisting of 5-8 questions. Most questions were about customer service experience. After that I had a Zoom interview with a supervisor. I was contacted within 2 business days with an offer, from there I had to pass background screening. The whole process took less than a month.

      Claims Generalist Trainee Interview

      12 Dec 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Phoenix, AZ
      No offer
      Negative experience

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Progressive Insurance (Phoenix, AZ) in Dec 2017

      Interview

      The application process was as expected. After applying I was required to take two online assessments. After completing the assessments I was scheduled for a phone interview. The woman who interviewed me was very abrasive. I have never left an interview feeling so negative. It wasn’t the questions that caused a negative experience, it was the interviewer. After speaking with her for almost an hour, I didn’t expect the follow up interview. I was actually relieved to have the rejection email. I would never want to work for a company that has a recruiter like the one I encountered. I literally want nothing to do with Progressive or their products because of this.

      Interview questions [4]

      Question 1

      Tell me about a time you had to negotiate something.

      Question 2

      Tell me about a time you dealt with a difficult customer.
