Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a time when you had to coordinate across multiple areas to achieve an outcome.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at State Farm (Dallas, TX) in July 2024
Interview
It was a three step process. I had to do an online interview via hirevue where you get random questions and have 2 minutes to answer. If you pass that round, you talk to the recruiter and they tell you next steps and the benefits package. For the real interview, i spoke with 3 hiring managers and it took after an hour.

Question 1
Give an example of when you used X? Like SQL, Excel, etc
HireVue video interview
Interview had around 5-6 general HR questions.
You will get practice time for each question. Once practice time is up, HireVue starts recording. It seemed fairly easy at beginning. I would prefer in person interview than this type of interview.
