      Very casual interview process, if you get to the second round they send you a questionnaire that gives them a better sense of whether or not you are suited for the position.

      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Milwaukee, WI)

      Interview

      It was dragged out over many weeks before being revealed to be a pyramid scheme. I do not recommend. They try to keep you coming back to suck you into a sunk cost fallacy.

      Question 1

      To describe my experience at work.
