I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Chicago, IL)
Interview
Very engaging interview that focuses on your story. They do a very good job of making you feel important to their company and that you will be successful there. One negative is that they try to hide the majority of the job is selling life insurance instead of actual financial planning.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about your life story and how you got to where you are today
Very professional and provide a deep background and understanding of the company. The recruiters are very friendly and help guide you through the interview process. Is a multi-step interview process including surveys and questionaries.
I went through three rounds. You have an initial screening, a one hour interview with an advisor, then meet with a partner in-person if possible. Very detailed, and they bring up cultural test results and financial projections.

Question 1
Who is someone in your current network that could benefit from this?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual
Interview
Fortunately it was a decent introduction call.
Unfortunately the recruiter did not know the mission statement for the organization and did not look it up to share it.
Was also informed there were still to be four interviews in the interview process.
