I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Progressive Insurance (Richmond, VA) in Apr 2011
Interview
- I was contacted by Progressive that I was a good fit for the position available and they asked me to apply for it through their system and I completed my application the same day.
- They let me know that I was selected for the next steps and asked me to complete the online pre-employment test and I completed this test within 3 business days.
- They let me know that I met the requirements based on the test results and I was scheduled for a phone interview
- I had the phone interview. It took around an hour. This interview was mainly about my skills and previous experience.
Normally the recruiter screening is supposed to be the easy one, but this wasn't the case for this interview.
She asked me so many details about my previous experience. Some questions shouldn't be asked since they were targeting private information, and some of them should only be asked during the face-to-face interview. For that reason, i found this screening so aggressive.
- The recruiter sent me an update that the hiring team didn't finalize their decision
- I received a message from the recruiter that she has elected not to move forward with me.
Obviously, her final message was contradicting with her update a week before. Overall, it didn't really take so much time between each steps, however, the process prior to the on-site interview was unnecessarily lengthy.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Give me an example of a situation where you met with an ambiguous dataset and how did you handle this situation?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Progressive Insurance (Mayfield Heights, Cuyahoga, OH) in Jun 2019
Interview
I had 4 one-on-one interviews in a row. They did allow a bio break between rounds 2 and 3. Mostly behavioral questions, until I got into the interview with the hiring manager, at which point I got a few analytical questions- not easy after 4 straight interviews. Hard but fair, mostly because of the volume of interviews in a row.
