      Easy interview

      Application

      The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Auto-Owners Insurance (Lansing, MI) in Sept 2010

      Interview

      I applied online and was invited, by a very straight/robotic HR person, to an interview (duration not mentioned). Wore a suit, got there on time, interviewed with 3 managers (about 1/2 hour each), each in a different IT division. They asked me general background questions, about my aspirations and future plans, why I'd like and be good at the job, and some simple situational questions (describe a failure you had..., describe a problem you had..., describe a stressful time you had...). We talked about the position, the IT department, and Auto-Owners in general. Two made sure I was ok with learning COBOL, and when I asked the 3rd he said because it's old technology that some don't like to learn, but it's used in most big businesses. He also said they're using more JAVA (I think) now. I was supposed to meet with the VP of something but he was a no-show, so my 3rd interviewer just toured me around IT as we looked for him and told me about the company. Everyone was plane and nice. IT is a cubical farm. Shirt and tie required. No technical questions at all, but one did show me COBOL when I asked about it... that's it.

      Question 1

      When you start, you will begin by training in COBOL, would you be ok with something like that?

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Auto-Owners Insurance (Lansing, MI) in Mar 2009

      Interview

      The first interview was performed on Campus at my University. It consisted of two Auto-Owners associated, one was a programmer, the other from HR. They asked me the generic questions, likes/dislikes, why Auto-Owners, where do you see yourself in five years, etc. After making it through that interview I was asked to come to the Home Office for the 3+ hour interview. This interview consisted of 1 on 1 meetings with approximately 6 different people, all asking the same types of questions I was asked in the first on-campus interview. Not once was I ever asked a logic question or anything regarding programming, even though I was applying for a position as a programmer. I was asked more questions about my insurance knowledge, for which I replied "none, really". I was called a day later and offered a position.
