I applied through college or university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual in Oct 2010
Interview
The interview took about 30 minutes. Standard questions but asked a lot about my family and connections I had. Also asked for recommendations of friends that they can reach out to to interview. Was told I would hear back within a few days but never did.

Question 1
Questions about family members and their occupations.
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.
