I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Jacksonville, FL) in Nov 2009
Interview
Dropped off my resume at a career fair, setup an interview within a weeks time. Recruiter was extremely friendly and courteous and asked basic questions about my interests and why I was interested in this career, etc. Asked about family history and how well I grow relationships, I.e. if I would be good at a sales job because Im a smooth talker.

Question 1
How many people do you know in this Jacksonville area?
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.
