I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual in May 2011
Interview
First interview is simply where they get to know you and see if you're interested in the position.
2nd interview consisted of a more detailed job descriptions as well as day to day job responsibilities, ending with a project where you interview or meet with several individuals.
3rd interview you make a small presentation answering questions they provided you with in the 2nd interview, followed by presenting your findings of the interviews. At the end there was a series of questions concerning the interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The most difficult part was putting together a presentation on why I thought I was a good fit for Northwestern Mutual, and why I thought I would succeed at the position.
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.
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.
