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.
Application
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual
Interview
So far the company seems to put a lot of time and effort into making sure that they potential candidates know what they are getting into. I think that the exercise they give potential new financial reps is quite helpful so you can get a feel for what you will be doing on a daily basis.

Question 1
There were not any trick questions in the interview. They were straight forward and clear.
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.
