I applied through university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (New York, NY) in Mar 2012
Interview
I applied on a Saturday night, was contacted the following Monday, and scheduled an interview for that Wednesday. Staff was personable, interview was easy (basic knowledge of company req'd,) office environment was pleasant. The woman I met was very nice, had to take a brief personality exam after the interview.
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.
