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.
Difficult interview
Application
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual in Dec 2011
Interview
Very professional, fast paced, they know what they are looking for in a candidate. They know about this website and ..."cringe because when we read what people write it is dead on." They will ask very personal questions such as ages of your family members and your financial situation including a request to provide your savings and asset history.

Question 1
Asked by recruiter: What are the ages of your children?
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.
