I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Allstate in Aug 2014
Interview
Initially contacted by their HR personnel and requested to provide certain info online. Allstate followed up with an email requesting interview availability and another asking to confirm interview time. Interviewed by three managers. Mostly conversational, with only a few "pressure" questions (which are asked of all candidates). Lasted just under an hour.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Allstate in Aug 2014
Interview
I applied and within a few hours I received two emails from a recruiter. One stating to complete an assessment that took me 45 minutes to complete, you are allotted 60 minutes. The other was to set up a phone interview. The phone interview was fairly easy and quick; it took about 10 to 15 minutes. The recruiter was very friendly and seemed genuine. I am waiting to schedule a face-to-face interview with the hiring managers which should be scheduled in the next 48 hours.

Question 1
Basic questions. "How did you hear about this job?" "Tell me about a situation where you went above and beyond for a customer and had a positive outcome. Explain the steps you took to do so." "Tell me about a time you were not successful in satisfying a customer."
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Allstate (Brooklyn, NY) in Feb 2011
Interview
Initial phone call to prescreen applicants - then panel interview with lead counsel attorneys. Typical hypothetical scenario questions, "what would you do if..." "tell me about a time when..." Most difficult part is getting all of the lead counsels in a room together to conduct an interview. Following up with a thank you note is a must in order to keep the attention directed at you.
