The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Progressive Insurance (Seattle, WA) in Oct 2011
Interview
I first met the Progressive recruiters at a University Career Fair and followed up with an online application. Within minutes of filling out the application I received an email prompting me to take an online test which consisted of mathematical and work preference questions. After taking the test, I received an email saying that I passed it and would be contacted for an interview. I was called the next day and scheduled an interview. The recruiter who scheduled the interview was very helpful and eased me into the process giving me pointers on what to study up for and sending me an email with a link that showed their most common behavioral questions. The phone interview was pretty standard and felt more like a conversation than an interview. It was my first interview of the kind so I was a bit nervous at first but the tone of the interviewer and the type of questions she asked helped me to relax. At the end of the interview she told me that she would promote me for the next step which is a 1:1 on site interview about a month and a half out. She also said that the background process would take a while and that I should expect some emails directing me to answer questions about my work background. The phone interview took place about two weeks ago and I have yet to receive word from the recruiter confirming the on site interview or see any background emails.

I applied and was sent an email to complete a 30 minute assessment that must be completed within 6 days. I completed the assessment about 2 hours after receiving the email. Within about 30 minutes of completing the assessment I received an email stating I was selected for a short video interview as soon as possible and submissions are reviewed in the order in which they are received. This is how far I am in the process so far.
