I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (North Canton, OH) in Dec 2022
Interview
My interview was virtual, but I still felt very informed by the end and the person interviewing me was very welcoming and helpful. The internship I was interviewing for is primarily commission-based, but the compensation is acceptable for a local internship.

Question 1
What type of things do you want to learn from an internship like this?
I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Appleton, WI) in Oct 2025
Interview
Very engaging interview process, they have you go through different exercises to generate names of people you know. Definitely make you feel right apart of the team from the start. Instead of the third interview they moved me right along to start learning the process.
Two in-person behavioral interviews. The first interview was with the recruiter. The second one took place with a professional. Asked basic questions. Pretty conversational. Helps to review your resume and utilize it to tell a story.

Having completed the initial screening last week, I am now moving on to the second interview round with Northwestern for the financial planning internship.
