I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (New York, NY) in Jul 2021
Interview
Straightforward and fairly easy. Maybe 2 or 3 rounds but if you can communicate well and have a business first mindset you’ll be okay. The position is good if you have a net because it is commission only. I was not a fan, but some reps and advisors make very good livings
Very professional and provide a deep background and understanding of the company. The recruiters are very friendly and help guide you through the interview process. Is a multi-step interview process including surveys and questionaries.
I applied online. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (San Diego, CA) in Jun 2026
Interview
The interview process is smooth, they get back to you relatively quickly. I completed the first 3 rounds within a week but they did reschedule my 4th interview after confirming. Nothing bad to say yet honestly.
I went through three rounds. You have an initial screening, a one hour interview with an advisor, then meet with a partner in-person if possible. Very detailed, and they bring up cultural test results and financial projections.
