Senior Product Manager - Personal Lines at Farmers Group

No Offer – Interviewed in Los Angeles, CA (US) Oct 2012 – Reviewed May 10, 2013

Interview Details Phone interview proceeded by 3 rounds of interviews including a two on one panel. Questions were mostly scripted and the individuals took notes on what seemed to be a generic interview form? It seemed like everyone was covering their own rear end and no one was willing to veer from the script. Way too much bureaucracy. Everyone I spoke to (6 people in all) had worked at Farmers for more than 18 years?

Interview Question – Where do you see yourself in 3 years?   View Answer

APD Field Claims Representative at Farmers Group

Accepted Offer – Reviewed Apr 14, 2013

Interview Details Submitted resume... got a callback for some general questions. Came into office and took a basic computer test. Interviewed with a panel of supervisors barely trained in "tell me about a time when......" questions. Then finally sat with office manager for a question/answer session. Almost half of the answers to the questions I asked turned out to be true.

Interview Question – It's claims. Asking base questions out of some junior-level management class or 10-year old behavior-based interview booklet HR just got around to reading is almost demeaning.   Answer Question

Negotiation Details – Take it or leave it.

Customer Service Representative at Farmers Group

No Offer – Interviewed in Oklahoma City, OK (US) Dec 2012 – Reviewed Feb 27, 2013

Interview Details I applied online through and had to take tests. I was then contacted by a recruiter who asked me several situational type questions. Afterwards, I was brought in as a group with other applicants. We all individually interviewed with a couple of different supervisors, who asked similar questions to the recruiter. After the interview, I listened to calls. The next day, I was alerted that I wasn't the the type of person they were looking for.

Interview Question – The questions weren't difficult. They're very much aimed at trying to get a specific type of personality for the work.   Answer Question

Customer Service Representative at Farmers Group

Accepted Offer – Interviewed on Olathe, KS (US) Mar 2011 – Reviewed Jan 16, 2013

Interview Details Applied online and about 2 weeks later, I received a phone call from HR. They wanted to know if they could do a phone interview right now. After about 30 minutes of talking with them, they told me that they would like me to come in and take a typing test. If I passed that, I would then go upstairs and sit with an employee for about a hour to watch them. After about a hour, HR came back up and took me downstairs. She informed me that he will pass a recommendation to the hiring manager to go forward with employment. About a week later, I received another phone call and they offered me the job.

Interview Question – Your basic interview questions. Very easy.   Answer Question

Negotiation Details – None. Take it or leave it.

Claims Adjuster at Farmers Group

Accepted Offer – Interviewed on Olathe, KS (US) May 2010 – Reviewed Jan 01, 2013

Interview Details The first thing that I did was submit an online application. The key was the employee referral to get above all the other candidates. Then I was called to schedule a time for testing all done on the computer. There was a typing test, computer navigation test, a grammar and spelling test, mathematical, and a multi tasking test. If you didn't pass each part of the test then you were done with the application and interview process. After passing all the tests then an interview was scheduled.

Interview Question – The interview was a behavioral interview. Situation, task, action, result. I cant recall the exact questions but they all deal with tough decisions that you had to make, a time when you had to be a mediator, when you had to prioritize, and when you had to change your plans or agenda etc.   Answer Question

Negotiation Details – There was no negotiation. Your salary is your salary.
