The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Overland Park, KS) in Nov 2008
Interview
First contact was a phone call that lasted a few minutes just to set up a time for me to come by. Met with recruiter and she just asked me some personal questions about who I was and why I wanted to work for NMFN. Then met with the CDO with a in depth meeting regarding finances and what the job entail. Finally I met with the managing partner at the time for a relaxed meeting and the offer.
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.

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.
