I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Orlando, FL) in Feb 2009
Interview
It was very thorough. I went through a series of interviews and meetings to establish a rapport with several different people in the office. The recruiting manager was very nice and honest, everything told to me during the process has proved to be true. The people are very accomodating and helpful, the office is very professional and well maintained and the work culture is one of teamwork.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There wasnt one specific question that I recall giving me trouble. However, there are several personality tests and compatibility exams to get through.
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.
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.

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.
