I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual
Interview
Had two on site interviews which were fairly simple. They gave a short assignment to be completed before returning a couple weeks later for a follow up interview. They assignment was easy and basically busy work. As long as you dress professional and have decent grades you should be all set.

Question 1
None were overly difficult. They want to hire as many interns as possible.
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.
