I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Springfield, IL) in May 2013
Interview
Three step interview with mostly fit questions. Asked to write out 100 names to call on if I got the job. I thought this was odd but decided to comply.
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.
