      Financial Intern Interview

      Accepted offer
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Minneapolis, MN) in Jan 2010

      Interview

      The interview process started out, so I thought, as simply me going in to talk with a recruiter who I had met at a dinner/networking function put on my University's athletic department (I am a student-athlete). I went out to meet the recruiter at her office, and what started as a really casual conversation eventually turned into more of an interview setting. Now, I say this not to act as if I was deceived, it was just I hadn't necessarily anticipated the meeting going that direction. With that said, I had a good conversation with her and the next step was going and meeting with another recruiter at a different office. Again, the conversation was very casual was really just about letting the company get to know you and vice versa. Finally, after some "homework" you are expected to come back in and give a brief presentation to a few recruiters and maybe some other advisors in the office - not long after this you will hear back from them on whether it is going to be a good fit for you. But, chances are if you get as far as to give a presentation and doing an acceptable job, you'll be asked on.

      Question 1

      How do you define success? And a follow up was, with that definition, who would be someone you would say is "successful"?

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Coralville, IA) in Feb 2025

      Interview

      3 interviews and one phone call. Very in depth process, the information given about the internship is more vague in the initial internship but a much more detailed breakdown is given in the final "offering" interview. Initially described as commission based but has stable base line pay during the licensing/mentoring period.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Salt Lake City, UT) in Feb 2025

      Interview

      Multiple zoom interviews that lasted from around 45-60 minutes. After being led on that I would be a good fit I did not even hear back. Understandable if it is just the first interview but 3 interviews in it was definitely disappointing and not very professional

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      This internship is a lot about personal skills and grit. They ask about hardships that you have had to over come. As well they ask a lot about connections and how people in your life see you.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Charlotte, NC) in Mar 2023

      Interview

      Zoom. Very easy going and general. It was a feel for who I am as a candidate and less focused on my qualifications which was nice. It was very convenient and made me less nervous as the process went on
