The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual in Nov 2010
Interview
Basic "tell me about a time" questions. Interviewer was nice and prompt. Interview took about an hour as they went over the company structure as well. Sent some material to look at prior to the interview as well. After the interview I had to take an assessment test and I am now waiting to hear back about next rounds.
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.
