I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Houston, TX) in May 2009
Interview
I was brought in for a 1 on 1 interview with the recruiter, then was asked to complete an aptitude test. Then I was asked back for another 1 on 1 interview with the Field Director, a third and fourth interview with another Financial Advisor and the Managing Director and then was asked back for a presentation to a group.
There were four or five interviews, if you count the meeting with my future mentor. There were also a few personality assessments. Lots of paperwork. The finance industry is tightly regulated.
The first interview was easygoing and went fairly well. We talked a little on myself and what northwestern was all about. Because they wanted to see how I could fit in to their team and what I would bring.
I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Greenville, SC)
Interview
The process was smooth and straight forward. A lot of behavioral based questions, but relaxed and low stress. First phase is a phone screening followed by a teams or in person meeting.
