I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Allstate in Apr 2019
Interview
Started with a call from a recruiter which was fairly simple with basic questions about you and contained 2 behavioral questions. The recruiter also explained the remainder of the process which included a behavioral interview --> tech interview/case study --> in person with a presentation aspect.
From there I was invited to do the next step: a behavioral video interview. This is where the issues began. I was told to prepare for a behavioral interview using the STAR method but once I got on the Skype call, it was not a behavioral interview but rather a tech interview with coding questions. I was not prepared and did poorly on the algorithmic thinking. There was also a database-optimizing hypothetical case study.
Overall a poor experience with Allstate because of the disorganization.
The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Allstate
Interview
The initial interview (not the phone screen) was with 3 people - including one person from a different team within the department. - and very rigorous. But it was clear they wanted you to feel comfortable.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe how your current skills align with this position.
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Allstate (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2019
Interview
One on one interview with team manager. Informal Q&A lasting about 45 minutes. Session was at the Allstate office in the Merchandise Mart. Nice, open office that had good energy. Interview was more of an information session with a fellow alum. They were not hiring for the position(s) I had interest, but opened a line of communication if I was still available for employment when they had positions available.
