I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Allstate (Chicago, IL)
Interview
Applied for the position through linkedin. After three days received an email with th instruction for the assessment did that, no right or wrong answers. Two days after that got another email to schedule a virtual interview with HR. Interview was very short about 25 minutes, basic behavioral questions, questions about job like availability, flexibility and pay. After virtual interview with HR in two weeks I received a generic email with negative decision.

Question 1
Are you willing to go to 11 weeks training to another state?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Allstate (Denver, CO) in Apr 2016
Interview
A 10 minute interview about why I wanted to work for Allstate. I was also asked about current salary, hours, if I have a bachelors degree. The phone interview was very basic and I don't think that it was anything too difficult. After the phone interview I was given an interview online to test basic behavior skills.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Allstate (Tacoma, WA) in Jan 2016
Interview
The interview process was pretty straight-forward. After I submitted my application, I was contacted the same day to set up an over the phone interview. Interview was scheduled for the following week. I talked with my recruiter over the phone for about 30 minutes or so. This was a time for me to find out more about the job, and for Allstate to learn more about me. She asked a few behavioral based questions, but nothing too difficult. I did well on that interview, so from there I was asked to complete a test on the computer. The test takes about an hour, and asks a series of situation-based questions. You have to score within a certain range to be considered for the job. I did well on that, so I was contacted a few days later to schedule an in person interview later that week.
The in person interview was the hardest part of the process, but was still pretty simple. I met with the manager at a local Allstate drive-in location. I ended up being interviewed by three of the managers in the area. They were all very nice and didn't make me feel uncomfortable or out of place. This was a time for them to learn more about me and ask any questions I had. Then we walked through a series of behavioral based questions. I felt really confident leaving the interview. The next day I got a call saying that I got the job contingent on passing a background check and drug screen.
