I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Chubb (Portland, OR)
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter about the position, expressed an interest and went through the initial screenings with the recruiter which seemed totally normal. We had a couple of phone screenings and they scheduled an interview with three managers in the office. I went to the interview in the office and it was three separate individual interviews. It seemed overall like a huge waste of my time and I wouldn't frankly recommend applying based on my experience. In addition to not seeming to have any idea of what they really wanted, I was asked inappropriate personal questions about my marital and family status (not sure if that is illegal or not), the interviewers had a laundry list of qualifications they were apparently looking for that were not included on the job application. It has been about three months since my interview and I have followed up with my interviewers and have not heard one word back about the status of my application. It's the most unprofessional job application process I have ever experienced. If you aren't interested in hiring someone, at least send an informal rejection email so they know where they stand. Or, don't waste a candidate's time because you have some internal quota to fill in order to get funding to transfer or train someone within the organization to your location. The job posting has been re-posted several times since my interview.
I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Chubb in Mar 2013
Interview
Panel Interivew with seven managers---all asking different questions, it was not that bad, but not all that helpful for me as they interviewweee. I'm not sure if that approach is that best way to actually interview candidates but from what I tell it's their standard approach.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Chubb
Interview
two rounds. 1st interview was for fit, 2nd interview was with the hiring managers. Since I was coming straight out of college they didn't ask me any technical questions. It was more about personality and interest in insurance.
