Yeah they do interview and it's a long process. They will call you first and then have you come in for an in-person interview. They will give you the job offer right over the phone. They asked about twenty different questions in both interviews.

You'll chat with 1-2 recruiters who will want to know about your past work, why you feel you'd be a good fit for this job, and so on. After that, you'll do a pretend call to show how you'd handle interacting with a customer. They might give you some thoughts on your answers and then open it up for you to ask them anything.

The application and interview process was extremely time consumptive and failed to allow for disclosure about decision making. The application and Resume submittal took a long time then you had to answer online questions and pass screening tests. These were followed by a 30 min telephone interview that then led into an hour long team video interview. All that culminated by getting sent a two sentence email saying that they are considering other applicants! What? I am very disappointed and dismayed by the whole process and am now glad that I was not hired! It is their loss and I will not use either Unum or Colonial Life personally for any service.
