I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Los Angeles, CA) in May 2011
Interview
The process is pretty straight forward you first have to attend an information session and then sign up for an interview. The interview usually takes place in their office and if they believe that you might be a good fit for the job they ask you to conduct a market survey in which you interview 15 people about financial management. Your final interview is presenting the findings of the market survey.

Question 1
What did you think of the market survey? Did you think it was difficult?
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.
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.

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.
