I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Travelers
Interview
Started interview process with a phone interview with an HR manager and the hiring manager. Next was flown in to interview with five individuals in Hartford, CT including financial analyst, HR mgr, hiring manager, senior acct sales rep. and a sales executive. I never received any type of decline. It would had been nice if they called or emailed to let me know they decided to hire another candidate.

Looking back, what would you have done differently in your last position?
One phone interview, two virtual interviews with management. Each lasted about one hour. It's been two weeks and there's been no feedback or response. I sent a follow up email.

The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Travelers (New York, NY)
Interview
2 weeks after applying I had a phone interview covering the basics of the position and going over my experience. I then met with the hiring manager in person. It was an hour long interview going more in depth. He told me they've previously had a hard time filling this role as their bonuses only come at the end of each year, only the top 4 or so Sales Executives in the region even get a bonus, and it's not as much as most competitors give for a comparable sales role. I was ok with this.
I felt it went well, but didn't hear back for 1.5 months. I checked in with the hiring manager, who apologized for the delay and moved me to the next round. I had another phone interview with a different director who seemed to ask questions regarding internal process that only someone currently in this role would know. The next day I got a notice of rejection.
All in all, the process was nearly 3 months long. Which is surprising as they've reposted the role on job boards multiple times, including 2 days ago, so they're obviously having difficulty filling this position.
My advice for Travelers is for all individuals in the hiring process to be on the same page and streamline the process. Most worthwhile candidates will not take multiple days off work for interviews while waiting months. They'll have accepted positions elsewhere by that point.
