I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Cleveland, OH) in Feb 2021
Interview
They lure you in by saying it's Financial Advising then they want you to learn all about insurance. It's pretty easy, they want a sales force you know. They have a series of interviews. First one is online. Second one is in person with others. Then I got the offer.
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 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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Who is someone in your current network that could benefit from this?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual
Interview
Fortunately it was a decent introduction call.
Unfortunately the recruiter did not know the mission statement for the organization and did not look it up to share it.
Was also informed there were still to be four interviews in the interview process.
