Seemed ok to start with basic Qs like any interview. But when comps came up, things really began getting weird and sketchy. Take note: 100% pure commission where they give you nothing to start and want you to bring in 'friends and family' as your first clients. Red flags all over. Run for the hills! Avoid!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about something difficult you faced and how you overcame it.
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 applied online. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (San Diego, CA) in June 2026
Interview
The interview process is smooth, they get back to you relatively quickly. I completed the first 3 rounds within a week but they did reschedule my 4th interview after confirming. Nothing bad to say yet honestly.
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.
