I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at State Farm (Bakersfield, CA) in Mar 2012
Interview
A couple pre-employment tests, phone interview, and physical interview with 3 hiring managers. Common behavioral interview questions during the interview.

Question 1
Tell me about what you did to prepare for today's interview. Not sure exactly what they were looking for: If I should indicated that researched common interview questions and prepared by talking out loud (might seem like too rigid of a person to them) or if I should answer in a more casual manner (then it might seem like I did not prepare enough).
Recorded response to multiple questions. You have the option to record answers 2x. You have some time to practice but it is limited. Then you have a phone interview where they go over you’re recorded answers and some new questions.
Two panels of three people. Not very difficult. Typical questions that you would expect. Basic scenarios around coworkers, calls, decision making. It was many years ago. I’m sure it has changed by now

Question 1
How do you support something you don’t believe in.
Short sweet and simple. Video interview with no person involved. Series of 5 questions. Nothing crazy at all. You get two attempts per question so you can correct your mistakes
