Allstate Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details No pats on the back once you're hired. No appreciation beyond the pay check.
Interviews are many, and will take sometimes months to hear back after an interview. Interviews are conducted according to what the particular manager finds important. Could be behavioural, goal setting, problem solving.. depending on position.

Interview Details Interviewers must be cognizant of the impact they make to the interviewees in regards to the company. It does leave a lasting impression and most definitely affects the company's reputation and sales. I was interviewed by a senior HR individual in the organization. This person was unprofessional, arrogant and was unable to ask conceivable questions. As I left the office, an employee communicated to me that this high level HR executive does not greet anyone and basically no one know's him.

I will never think of purchasing their products and will definitely discourage anyone from applying for a position or purchasing from them.

Interview Details I was reached by phone , scheduled interview then unfoftunately rescheduled by the manager. It went well T
the trick is be yourself and be honest . Another imp thing is review your resume before you enter for the
company and the most imp to be confident. Donot over exerate or be over confident which will show that you are making up things

Negotiation Details – Easy to handle

Interview Details One telephonic round followed by 2 technical and one hr round

Interview Details Initial screening includes computerized test to evaluate reading comprehension through sample policy language and coverage decision making. A subsequent preliminary interview with a corporate human resources recruiter takes place via phone and is then followed up by a more in depth interview with a hiring manager for the National Catastophe Team. The initial preliminary interview with corporate human resources may occur before the computerized testing as the computerized testing is usually administered in person, and is often grouped with the in-depth interview with the hiring manager for the Catastrophe Team.

Interview Details HR contacted me on a position I had applied to that read like it would be a great fit. They wanted to have an introductory phone call. I replied with several time slots and heard nothing. I followed up again asking if they still wanted to meet. They replied back with a time that was not a time I could make.

I moved around my schedule to make it work. But the time came and went and Allstate never showed up. I left a message for the interviewer and never heard back.

Totally unprofessional for such a large company. I no longer have any interest in working here since they clearly don't respect the time of people who are wanting to work there. If it was the candidate who was flaky and a no show, they'd be removed from consideration without a second thought. It's time to hold the employer to the same standard.

Interview Details About two weeks after I had applied online I received a call from what I assumed was a third party hiring / HR company. I set up the initial phone interview, and when I passed, I was immediately sent an email link to take a questionnaire. The questionnaire was about an hour long, and it was essentially a "what would you do with X Y or Z" situation quiz. After you pass, you get an email letting you know that you passed. About a few days after that I was called to set up an in person interview.

The actual interview was about 30 minutes long. Two female managers interviewed me. The standard questions were about my major in college, what I'm getting my Masters in, and other various simple questions. The main questions, for which they wrote my answer down, were "Please explain a time when you had to go above and beyond for a customer to please them." as well as "Please explain a time dealing with a problem customer that you just couldn't please." For both of those questions, I had to explain the situation, explain what I did, and then explain the resolution.

After that, they explained the benefits, pay, and things about the department I would be working in. They said they had several other interviews to conduct but I would hear back within two weeks. I thanked them for their time and they thanked me. Ultimately I didn't get the offer, unfortunately, though they were offering much lower pay than what I was expecting anyway.

Interview Details First round was good. Talked about the position and walked through my cv/resume. 2nd round was with 2 associate directors and a principal. Talked about the role, the position, and what my experiences were. Every interviewer had an i-banking background and had incredible insight and knowledge. The people and environment were simply amazing.

Interview Details Company called almost immediately after I posted for position. Interview set-up was equally swift. Hiring manager was personable and didn't ask the usual questions, such as: tell me about yourself, where do you expect to be in 5 yrs etc. Instead he focused on skill sets such as SAP experience, excel, PowerPoint; asked me about my presentation skills and comfort with making presentations to upper mgt. The upshot: the interview went well, the hiring mgr turned me over to a colleague/fellow mgr to get their opinion. This individual asked questions about skills, a time in which I had to overcome a challenge, etc. More traditional interview. Four days after the interview, received an email indicating that the position had been filled and thanking me for my time. Final Update: found out the person selected for the position was less experienced, with no SAP experience. Also did research on hiring mgr, found out this individual was on downward trajectory in their career: decade as a sr mgr, currently in a non-sr mgt role at same company, etc. My not getting job may have been for totally different reasons than what I suspect, but my suspicion is, hiring mgr didn't want anyone too strong in the role.
