I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Principal Financial Group (Des Moines, IA) in Mar 2015
Interview
1 Phone interview that lasted about 20-25 minutes, followed by an hour and a half in person interview that required a test of my grammatical and writing skills as well as a question interview. I was asked to write about what my ideal vacation would be, but they did give you four or five alternative options to write about. The test on grammar was fairly easy.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Where do you see yourself in 10 years? After retirement?
