I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Insurance Services Office (Jersey City, NJ) in Jan 2008
Interview
The hiriring process was pretty straightforward. Two weeks later, there was a phone interview, followed by a group interview by different heads of different departments. The group interview was followed by an aptitude test, testing both english and mathematical skills. After the test, there was a lunch-style interview with two more employees. There was a good amount of time (3-4 weeks) between the group interview and the initial offer, but everything was at least handled professionally.
