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 in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual in Mar 2009
Interview
Overall the experience has been very positive. I really like the attention they pay to detail and the fact that they have a systm in place to help the agents early on. A lot of other companies claim that they have systems but truthfully they seem to want you to create one for yourself.
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.
