I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (San Diego, CA)
Interview
I had 3 interviews each lasting 30-40 minutes. The questions were pretty straight forward about my skills, previous experience, how I handled certain business situations. Everything was going really well until the last interview. The interviewer asked me highly inappropriate questions and it made me realize I did not want to work for this organization.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual in Feb 2026
Interview
There was a 3-step interview process. I met with the Managing Partner and HR in the 3rd round for a presentation.
Everyone was very helpful and information about the role.
Did about 5 rounds, 2 of which were in person then got ghosted. Followed up twice with no response, the team did react to my linkedin post when I got a new job too which was weird.
