I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Liberty Mutual Insurance (Golden, CO)
Interview
I applied online and received an email to set up a phone interview within a couple of weeks. The phone interview was easy and structured. It consisted of six or so typical behavioral questions. After the phone interview was completed, the interviewee told me she wanted to move me on to their face-to-face process. The incredibly tedious process was a four-hour experience. It began with a computer test that tested my skills at processing processing phone calls (it was very easy if you have common sense). The next test was a behavior/skills test (that I had already taken online...), which was also simple. I then had two back-to-back interviews that consisted of a ridiculous amount of behavioral questions (at least 15-20 in total). The questions weren't exceedingly difficult...pretty typical behavioral questions. Finally, I spent about 30 minutes watching an employee process incoming calls in her cubical. I tried to ask some questions about the job and the day-to-day experience, but she was on the phone for all of 3 minutes that I was there. I was told I would be contacted within the next few days. Two weeks later, I received an email rejection letter. I believe I seemed too ambitious to move up within the company and the call center manager didn't want to deal with hiring me and then having to replace me 6 months to a year down the road. They were looking for call center enthusiasts.

Question 1
Typical behavioral questions. There were no trick questions.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Liberty Mutual Insurance (New Castle, PA) in Jul 2012
Interview
Applied Online, then about a month later I received a call for a phone interview. The Phone interview lasted about 30 minutes, consisted of general "Tell me a time when" questions. A week later, got a call to schedule an in person interview. At the in person interview, there were five other people, we were first taken into a room and asked to do a typing test and to type up email and mailed correspondence as if they would go to a customer. Then the main manager came in, gave a description of the job and duties and escorted us to the next step, which was observing current employees on the phones. The employees were given papers to fill out based on if we asked questions and paid attention. Then we were separated and I met with five different supervisors and managers who each asked more "tell me a time when" type questions. With the last interviewer you are allowed to ask your own questions. About 2 weeks later, I received a call with conditional offer of employment, pending a background check (which they send you a copy of, not many places do that). No drug test. Started work beginning of following month, then 3 months of training.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mostly general questions like "Tell me a time when you used such and such a skill to complete such and such a task." or "Tell me a time when you went above any beyond for a customer" When I initially interviewed, it was the first time I had been asked SO many of these types of questions, often more than once asked the same question but needed a different answer each time.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Liberty Mutual Insurance
Interview
When I first walked in the receptionist was welcoming. There was a group of us waiting to be interviewed. We all entered into the training room, where an over view of the company was given. After which, questions where answered and then we were shuffled off to one on one interviews. My interview had a lot of personality. He was great, I has a few questions which he happily answered. It was a great experience. After your one on one, you sit with a rep to get a up close of how the process works. Mine was great, I enjoyed it. I looked around a bit and noticed friendly people in an upbeat environment.

Question 1
During my interview, the basic customer service questions came up. The only one I remember is, Name a time where you had a difficult customer, give the situation, and process you used to solve the problem. Not hard at all.
