I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Salt Lake City, UT) in Feb 2023
Interview
Easy interview with a few people, not too deep, basic questions about your coachability, why NM, your purpose, what you bring to the table. Not difficult. The hiring process is long though.

Question 1
Why NM? Why sales? Quick elevator pitch about yourself, one time you overcame a challenge
Very professional and provide a deep background and understanding of the company. The recruiters are very friendly and help guide you through the interview process. Is a multi-step interview process including surveys and questionaries.
I went through three rounds. You have an initial screening, a one hour interview with an advisor, then meet with a partner in-person if possible. Very detailed, and they bring up cultural test results and financial projections.

Question 1
Who is someone in your current network that could benefit from this?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual
Interview
Fortunately it was a decent introduction call.
Unfortunately the recruiter did not know the mission statement for the organization and did not look it up to share it.
Was also informed there were still to be four interviews in the interview process.
