Elephant Insurance Interview Questions
& Process

I put my application in early January and heard back for a first interview about a month later. I could pick a video or phone call, so I went with phone. They asked easy questions about working remotely. The next week, I had an in-person interview at a hotel with two supervisors. It was kind of odd, but I guess it makes sense since their Dallas office is closed and everyone in Texas works from home now. They asked standard STAR questions, some about bodily injury situations, and a couple of tricky insurance questions that are hard to answer on the spot. The interview was pretty relaxed and nice, even though they showed up 10 minutes late. I got a rejection about a week and a half later.

I applied through my college for this role. The whole process was super long and frankly a bit of a pain. It kicked off with a pretty straightforward phone interview. After that, there was a math competency test. Then, I had a Skype interview with someone from Admiral Insurance in the UK, followed by another phone interview that was more technical. The final stage was at their HQ in Richmond. This involved yet another test, and then nine interviews, each lasting between 30 minutes and an hour. They threw a lot of case-style questions at me. They said they'd let me know soon. A few weeks later, I emailed them, and they said they needed another week or two. After that, I emailed again, and they claimed they needed an additional month. In the end, they never got back to me at all. Honestly, the whole thing was just absurd, especially for what turned out to be a low-level company. I ended up getting much better offers and had a much smoother experience with all of them.

I had a quick, casual phone call, and then we set up an in-person interview. There was a bit of a mix-up, though, because I got another call asking to set up an in-person interview from the same person who had just scheduled me. We sorted it out, and I went for my original interview time. The HR person was really nice and made me feel welcome. I started with a math test and an attention to detail test; both had time limits. Then I met with the director of marketing. He asked pretty standard interview questions, but he seemed a bit disengaged, typing my answers instead of talking with me. After that, I met another marketing team member, who was super friendly. It felt more like a casual chat, and I was pretty comfortable. They both seemed to ask the same things, though. The whole thing took about an hour and a half. They mentioned they needed to fill the role quickly and I'd hear back by the end of the week, but I never did. I sent thank you emails to HR and the two interviewers and followed up with HR again later, but got no reply.

I applied online and then a recruiter called me. She then scheduled a phone interview that was about an hour long. After that, a few days later, they contacted me to schedule a panel interview for the following week. Before the panel interview, I had to complete a 30-minute personality test. Then, I had to take a timed 10-minute math skills test that included addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and fractions, spanning two pages. Following these tests, I waited in the 'interrogation room' for a panel interview with the people services and operations manager, which lasted an hour. After that, I had a second interview with two more management personnel. I was told the next step is a meeting with the CEO, and after that, I assume they'll make an offer.
