      Application

      I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Greenville, SC)

      Interview

      Very casual, over the phone, expect to cold call even if they say you won't. Almost zero technical questions and seemed rather rushed. Probably wouldn't advise unless you have no other options.

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Honolulu, HI)

      Interview

      The initial interview was fine. If you wish to proceed they'll give you an assignment that will take some time to prepare. If they offer you a position you'll find its mostly all networking through your personal connections for sales. Not ideal.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They'll ask about your personal network to get a gauge on how many people in the area you know.
