I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Selective Insurance (Glastonbury, CT) in Nov 2019
Interview
Received the first call in early NOV from HR about my application that I had submitted in AUG, we chatted and scheduled a call with the hiring manager fairly immediately. I had the hiring manager phone call the following week, then had the in-person interviews the week after that.
I had 1x1 interviews at Selective's Glastonbury office with four gentlemen over four hours on one day: two managers of application delivery and two AVPs of application delivery. The interviews moved along smoothly, everyone was professional and polite.
I rate the overall experience as negative because Selective Insurance never 'closed the loop' after the interview process. I never heard back from Selective after my in-person interviews. I followed up via email twice with the recruiter but did not receive a response and still had not heard back four months later, as of 3/9/2020. Received an email response a few hours after my initial posting of this interview review.
The interview process took three weeks total. However the time from application to interviews was approximately three months.
