I met them at the career fair on at university. Handed them my resume and talked to the recruiter the next day for a 30 minute on campus interview. Was then invited to onsite interview that lasted the whole day.
In the preliminary phone interview, you will be asked some general questions such as why did you chose Allstate, why do you think you are a good fit for the position, for what reason you chose such career path, tell a little bit about your previous experiences, and the weirdest one is to tell about a situation when you tried your hardest but did not achieve the expected results. Then they will email you asking to complete the application form with some extra information and if you pass that, there will be an interview with a hiring manager.

I applied through college or university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Allstate (Northbrook, IL) in Aug 2010
Interview
After an HR behavioral interview, I was asked to interview with a department manager. During the interview he asked me about my classwork and related work experience. He then asked me to speak with the senior developer that same afternoon. This was a technical interview where I was asked about my programming skills. I was asked to write sample code and debug pre-written code. This technical interview was difficult but not impossible.

As a junior developer did you ever spot errors in another developer's code? What did you do about it?
