I applied through college or university. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Princeton, NJ) in Mar 2014
Interview
Went in for a first round interview. The recruiter laid out a bunch of papers and packets and explained the internship. Gave me a paper and said I had to speak with I believe ten people about their financial situation and if they would sit down with me and a representative in the future. Got the other once I came back with the right amount of people.
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.
