I applied online. I interviewed at Progressive Insurance (Wilkinsburg, PA) in Jan 2015
Interview
Step 1 - Online Assessment. It was lengthy and time consuming.
Step 2 - Phone Interview. Apparently, they sometimes farm out these calls and I was talking to a third party person (this is according to the Claims Manager I interviewed with in the next step).
Step 3 - In-Person Interview. They ask a lot of the same questions as asked over the phone.
I was not offered the job and I'm glad. I was very excited about the position, but after further research decided it wasn't for me. The interview process was pretty standard except for two things. 1) They started running a background check through HireRight (third party verifier) before I even interviewed in-person. It seemed very odd to have that going on before an offer was made. 2) I would have preferred an email telling me I didn't get the job. The Talent Acquisition person called and left a message. I assumed it was good news. When I returned the call, she was cheerful and made small talk before telling me the bad news. It was insensitive and unnecessary. I emailed her the day before, she could have simply replied.

I applied and was sent an email to complete a 30 minute assessment that must be completed within 6 days. I completed the assessment about 2 hours after receiving the email. Within about 30 minutes of completing the assessment I received an email stating I was selected for a short video interview as soon as possible and submissions are reviewed in the order in which they are received. This is how far I am in the process so far.
