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.
Easy interview
Application
The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual in Jun 2011
Interview
I submitted my resume through a job website, and was contacted via telephone within a few weeks. An interview was scheduled, and it lasted roughly an hour. The HR rep was very encouraging and seemed interested to get to know you. After this interview, I was given a personality assessment to complete online and submitted.
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.
