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.
Easy interview
Application
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual in Feb 2011
Interview
Went over the company details and then had to take a personality test that they would then look at to decide if I could come back for a second interview. Interview occurred because I handed in my resume at a college internship fair. The office was very nice and offered me something to drink upon entering. It lasted about an hour with her presentation of the company.
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.
I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Greenville, SC)
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.
