I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Rochester, NY) in May 2012
Interview
Initial phone screening with recruiter, followed by phone interview with College Unit Director. Asked to interview 10 people with a provided questionnaire about the position and company. 1 on 1 interview in the office which is where I was offered the position. Some candidates reported having to do a presentation for the recruiter and college unit directors.

Question 1
Give me an example of a time you went above and beyond what was required of you?
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.
