I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Allstate (Hauppauge, NY) in May 2009
Interview
Was contacted by a recruiter and interview was set up quickly. Had 2 interviews but then didn't hear anything for quite a bit. Had to alert them of another position that I was getting an offer on to get things moving, and they wanted me to wait 3 weeks to hire.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Very little about actual technical knowledge, just basics about programming and SDLC.
Interview for this position was pretty simple. Basic questions to see if you had prior sales experience and good communication skills. Had to take a personality survey to determine if you fit the profile of a sales professonal.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Allstate (Williamsville, NY)
Interview
First had a phone interview with an outsource company who screened applicants. They was set up for an in person interview where I met with 3 managers who asked my questions from a list and took notes regarding my answers. The usual "tell me about a time you..." type questions. I then had to go through a test on the computer. I was then called a couple weeks later and offered a position through the outsource company.
