The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual in Jan 2011
Interview
The company was very nice during the interview process. From the initial phone conversation through the offer period I was kept in the know and included in inter-office functions. The interviewer was so enthusiastic I walked away anxious to know my start date. The process consisted of four interviews, a phone conversation followed by an in-person interview with the CRO. A third meeting with the managing director and finally a conversation with the managing partner to decide if the career path is the right choice. I would recommend a prospective candidate just be honest and personable, there is no need to put on a false front.
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.
