The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Federated Insurance in Mar 2012
Interview
I interviewed with Federated through a campus recruitment event. I was selected as a candidate through a pre-screening process based on my resume. The interview itself lasted a full hour, at the end I was told I was a good candidate and the next step in the interview process was an online personality assessment that would take approximately 2.5 hours.
My initial interview was postponed after my interviewer had a family issue and had to leave. It was rescheduled for a week and a half later. I received a phone call from my recruiter verifying the new interview date/time because he "forgot." I also received mixed messages from the recruiter about the follow-up process: he verbally informed me that he would call me to follow up, but in an email from his assistant said that I should call him.
After trying to contact my recruiter several times over the course of a few weeks he called me back at 6am on a weekday to tell me that I had passed the online assessment and his assistant would email me with a date for a second interview.
I never received the email and my calls went unanswered and were not returned.
I was disappointed with the lack of professionalism of my recruiter, as I had been very impressed with the company.
I interviewed at Federated Insurance (Bristol, VA)
Interview
Initial phone call screening with district manager who sounded to be a bit younger (Millenial or Gen Z) and did more talking than engaging/listening. Was told I'd receive one of those personality tests via email and asked to complete it. I did complete it and made three attempts to follow up but it's been a month and I've been totally "ghosted." A prime example on how this generation has no sense of decorum or respect, have some fortitude about yourself and have the nerve to send a quick note letting a candidate know something and don't waste their time.
I interviewed at Federated Insurance (San Marcos, TX)
Interview
The interview process was long but the recruiter was very friendly. The first time we met was at a Sales Event for my university and we went onto meeting several times to talk about the position and the requirements for the role. The process went on for about 3 months and then the recruiter let me know that he wanted me to have some experience in Sales.
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Federated Insurance (San Jose, CA) in Jan 2023
Interview
Super lengthy but it makes sense because they are investing a good amount into you. i made it to the 4th or 5th interview and did a ride along and then had to do a write up. They wanted me to do yet another ride along. and that is when I stopped. Good people they are just very selective it seems like. Also, they do an at home interview which is odd. 8 month training program in Minnesota which also threw me off because I do not want to live in Minnnesota for 8 months.
