I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Chicago, IL) in June 2010
Interview
Was introduced through a current employee. Was called 2 days later by the recruiter, and interviewed the following week. Met with the recruiter for about 1 hour that day. I followed up the following day, she returned my follow-up. We mutually decided it was not the right company for me at this time.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What do you think it takes to create a relationship with a client?
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.
I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Greenville, SC)
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.
