I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual
Interview
I got an email from the hiring manager wanting to set up a phone interview. Got a call and she asked me a couple questions about my current position and what I was looking for in a company. Then she explained the position and if I felt it was something I was interested in. After that I had to fill out two personality tests. Shortly after that I was offered an interview. The in person interview was simple, I was asked a couple questions and then learned more about the company.

I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Chicago, IL)
Interview
Short. Interviewer/recruiter had loud noises in the background. I was told I would hear something in 48hours and it has been two weeks. Seems like a good company to work for but I guess I will never know.
