I applied through university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual in Feb 2011
Interview
I found the job online, and they were looking for what essentially is a sales intern. This interview consisted of three separate interviews. The first was a breeze -- they mainly asked about your background, what school you went to, etc. The second was similar. It had nothing difficult, although they did ask you to prepare a sort-of sales pitch to the interviewer. It was during the second interview that they ask you to fill out the names and contact information of the closest people you know who might be interested in their products. It was at this point that I backed out.
Straightforward process, interviewed with them on campus. They provided the information I needed. I decided to not move ahead with the interview process as it did not align with my goals, but the interviewers were cordial and professional.
Felt like they were selling me something the whole time. Super easy to talk to, but something just felt off the whole time. Had multiple phases of them explaining why they're so perfect and great to work for (massive selection bias in some of their numbers)
