I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Pleasanton, CA) in Oct 2014
Interview
I applied through my college, and the HR team called and arranged an interview after a week. The interview process was neutral. The HR Director only read through my resume and circled relevant experiences. Since I have nothing they are looking for, the interview process did not take that long.
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.
