I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Des Moines, IA) in May 2023
Interview
You first interviewed with a manager there who was actually in your position at one point. Talked about the position and what you would do. They then wanted you to fill out this survey and get your feelings on the role and if you would be a good fit. Then you would interview again and discuss the survey.

Question 1
Do you have mutual acquaintances that you can reach out to to sell our financial services to them?
Very professional and provide a deep background and understanding of the company. The recruiters are very friendly and help guide you through the interview process. Is a multi-step interview process including surveys and questionaries.
I went through three rounds. You have an initial screening, a one hour interview with an advisor, then meet with a partner in-person if possible. Very detailed, and they bring up cultural test results and financial projections.

Question 1
Who is someone in your current network that could benefit from this?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual
Interview
Fortunately it was a decent introduction call.
Unfortunately the recruiter did not know the mission statement for the organization and did not look it up to share it.
Was also informed there were still to be four interviews in the interview process.
