I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Stamford, CT) in Mar 2024
Interview
Recruiter was proactive and helpful. I interviewed an hour with the GM which was a great interview. He asked questions that was concerned with who I was as a person versus work history given the type of role I am interviewing for.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself? Family, where did you grow up, etc.
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.
