I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Sacramento, CA) in Mar 2015
Interview
I did two interviews with the company, and I am scheduled for a third soon. They bring you into a fairly large conference style room and interview you one on one in the first round, and then in the second round a higher up coordinator interviews you one on one for about an hour to two hours.
