I interviewed at Liberty Mutual Insurance (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Standard phone call plus onsite interview plus a background check (if you make it that far). I had two interviewers, both very friendly. Atmosphere was casual, just felt like a conversation about my past.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Liberty Mutual Insurance (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2015
Interview
I applied online through my university/the company website and was selected for a phone interview a few weeks later. I was lucky enough to have this amazing recruiter, Tiffany, would connected with me right away. We had a productive conversation about my background and one or two behavioral questions. I was invited for an in-person interview (which at the time I was applying for an underwriting position) which went really well, but they decided to go with an internal hire. I was really impressed with the HR department, though, because they recognized that I could be a good fit somewhere else in the company. Tiffany, who again was amazing, referred me to a business analyst position where I received an offer after a skype interview. Overall, my experience was great.
My advice is to very personable. I did not have a noteworthy internship after my junior year which was a disadvantage when applying to most jobs. However, if you can come of as a genuine, kind, respectable, and knowledgeable young adult the recruiters can overlook a lack of experience.
Also know something about the insurance industry. Not just about Liberty Mutual, but also the issues relevant to the industry as a whole. E.g. the underwriting process, underwriters vs. field sales, how high sales can lead to low profit, types of insurance, etc.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Very straight forward questions. Be able to walk through your resume with ease. Know something about insurance, types of insurance, and how it works. Also, you'll probably be asked why you want to work in insurance and you should have a good answer. A few "describe a time when..." Nothing technical or out of the ordinary.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Liberty Mutual Insurance in May 2014
Interview
Applied, got an email from recruiter to schedule a phone interview I had the phone interview and then a couple of days later was scheduled for an onsite interview with two managers and a week and a half later I was called back in for a second interview. An hour after I left this they called and offered me the job pending background check.
