I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Allstate (Deerfield, IL) in July 2016
Interview
After phone, I went in for an onsite interview, there were lots of design problems, puzzle questions, but the environment is friendly. They using many technologies I dont have experience on, I didnt get the offer but I can understand why. Plus there is a pool of people to compete for this position.
Interview questions [1]

Interview
Interview level : easy
Interview experience: weird
I interviewed at AllState for Senior SWE. First round interview was about experience and discussions around relational data sses vs. nosql databases. The interview went well.
The second round was technical round. It was very weird. The interviewer was very weird and asked very vague and generic questions but expecting a very specific answer or keyword in response. It went throughout whole one hour. I was asked to write a code for a short problem
Think as leetcode easy level. I did that. But ultimately what sucked was the overall interview practices; where questions so generic but expecting specific keywords in answer.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Allstate (Chicago, IL) in Sept 2019
Interview
Initial phone interview with HR with usual background questions. Initial technical phone screen then a online quiz.
