I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Nuveen (Chicago, IL) in Jul 2019
Interview
HR initial screening, 2 phone calls with MD, Super Day with 5 in person interviews with senior management and team. Heard back within a month of the final interview date.
I spoke to HR on the phone first. Then a Zook call with the MD. Then a super day with 6 team members. Everyone was fairly relaxed, although I had to follow up to find out I wasn’t going further.
