I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Milwaukee, WI) in Dec 2011
Interview
Got the interview because of a career fair. Had an initial interview, was assigned a task and reported 2 weeks later with the comleted task. Was offered a position at the end of the second meeting.
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.
