I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Principal Financial Group (Des Moines, IA) in Sept 2014
Interview
They reached out to me immediately after applying. I met with one of the HR people and someone of the program. They were absolutely amazing and welcoming. It was a really warm experience. Keep your resume in front of you because there was a lot of behavioral questions concerning my resume.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me salary in the first interview! This completely shocked me because you have no idea what you will be expected to do, so you can't even put a price on your work yet. It seemed a bit predatory seeing they knew I was early in the job process.
