I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at State Farm (Bloomington, IL) in Sept 2015
Interview
Applied back in August 2015. The screening interview was scheduled relatively quickly. Within a few days. I then had 3 subsequent interviews for several positions over the span of the following 7 weeks. It was a pretty long process but the interviews were good and the interviewers were very nice and upfront about everything. The HR reps are also very informative if you choose to follow up with them.

Question 1
General behavioral STAR questions and a bunch of generic OO questions. (4 pillars of OO, OO design principles and such)
Hire Vue video Interview, but they get back to you pretty quickly. They are trying to get through a lot of applicants and it is obvious in their hiring process.
Interview included a virtual interview where you're asked to record video answers. This is followed by a coding challenge. Finally, there was a live video call interview with team members.

Question 1
What was the most challenging task you faced, how did you overcome it, and what did you learn?
It consisted of three rounds: screening coding, self-recording interviews, and panel interviews. Panel interview was very technical, and questions were closely related to the job responsibilities. The difficulty for coding assessment wasn't as bad but definitely need to know the basics.
