I applied through university. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Irvine, CA)
Interview
4 interviews.
- meet higher ups and have a conversation with them to see if you're eligible
- qualify for the job with a certain project they give, kind of like homework
- depending on how well you do with the project, they will continue to interview for a third time
- ask about project results and process
- then meet with higher ups again and see if you are qualified. if qualified, then wait a week to hear back
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.

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.
