I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at State Farm (Saint Johnsbury, VT) in Aug 2013
Interview
While this all started off well, things deteriorated over time. In my case, I had to wait and chase after the regional manager. I started proposal work and talking with agents before my meeting. Some were very pro, some were very con. To make a long story short, I was the driving factor -- perhaps a motivation test. But, as I neared close to 100 hours of prep work prior to a "presentation review", and finally got some hard data I was looking for from the manager 2 days prior.
I came to the conclusion what they wanted was mathematically impossible in the desired territory -- which it sounds like they didn't particularly care about.
I did my work late at night..... as I was running a business. Things are kept "mysterious" until you reach the "next level". It was an agent who told me that training was 3 months several states away.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
None. It was straightforward. It simply seemed like a very long process, with questionable return. I blew the presentation. But, by that point, I thought the whole thing was somewhat bizarre. Lots of support from the recruiter and the initial company helper. Very lax manager -- which had me worried.

Interview
Straightforward, simple questions, licenses mandatory before starting. In office no opportunity for hybrid or remote. Phone interview is before in person interview at the branch. Be prepared to answer why you want to work for StateFarm.
It was a phone interview, it went well however I didn't make the cut. The interviewer said that that's common as a lot of people apply and encouraged me to apply again in a few months stating many that work there apply multiple times before getting hired.
