I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Richmond, VA) in Dec 2012
Interview
Interview process was not bad. 3 interviews. First was very informational. Second one was general interview type questions about why you think you would be a good fit for the company. Third interview you present a brief business plan/idea for how you would get clients.
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.
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.
