I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Chicago, IL) in Dec 2012
Interview
The interview process was pretty straight forward. They ask a lot of behavioral based interview question to asses what type of personality and to ensure you're the type of person fitting for this job. They also have you take two online questionnaires which are essentially personality tests.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Three words that you would say do NOT describe you (I hate these types of questions).
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.

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.
