I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Hartford, CT) in Feb 2015
Interview
The interview process wasn't bad. Typical interview. 3 meetings first two are face to face with a recruiter. Last meeting they make you an offer and give you time to accept if you choose to do so. Nothing crazy basic stuff. Explain the internship to you and are very honest about what it entails because it is hard work. Small project to complete to show that you are serious about the position and thats about it.
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.

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.
