Interviewed Feb 2011 in Santa Barbara, CA (took 1 week)
I spoke with a Northwestern Mutual representative at a career fair on campus. Emailed them a resume afterward and received an email scheduling an interview. The first interview was very easy, mostly informative. I was giving "homework" to fill out for the second interview (to take place the following week). Homework consisted of compiling referrals ie friends and family you can hawk life insurance to. Sales Reps only make commission, I didn't feel comfortable with the referral thing, and the position is a glorified knife salesman; I declined to go to the second interview.

Interviewed Aug 2010 (took 2 days)
good communication for director of selection, nice meeting. sounds like they are looking for the best and the fittest. 1200 interviews and only 40 make it. wow. sure would want to be one of those 40. positive atmosphere, hard working men and women. nice office, everyone gets their own office. seems like not too many meetings. hard work is what it takes.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Woburn, MA (took a day)
30-45 min interview. I wasn't asked many interview questions that were too difficult or made me have to think. One that stood out would be: What would be your dream typical day at work? It almost seemed to easy to me. Don't get me wrong, NWM is a legitimate Fortune 500 company, but it seemed like they were almost desperate for Salespeople. They wanted me to form a market around my family and that was something I wasn't comfortable doing.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in San Diego, CA (took a day)
Got called in for interview and prior to meeting 1:1 was asked to complete a couple of test including a personality test. Towards the end of the interview the interviewee told me I would probably not be hired because I did not have enough personal potential customers. This was after I told them that I had only been living in the area where the job was located for a year. It makes me wonder if they hire people based on how many of their own connections they can bring in
