I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Houston, TX) in May 2009
Interview
Question - Do you consider yourself lucky?
The question is designed to see if you think you've had success in life all on your own, or if you feel like you've had help along the way.

Question 1
Nothing terribly unexpected. They don't want to throw you off - they want to get to know you.
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.

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.
