I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2011
Interview
The interview process is a 3 step process.
The first in person interview was basically you finding out what the company did and how they did it.
The second interview went into the pay, and what they expect from you. They also give you homework to find out what it is like to be a financial representative.
The third interview goes over your homework and gives you an 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.
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.
