I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (West Palm Beach, FL) in Sep 2010
Interview
The process consisted of 3 separate interviews. The first was conducted by HR and the second two by a higher up at that specific location. Straight forward interview questions. You also have to take an online test detailing how you would handle each situation. There was nothing about this process that was out of the ordinary. Take a minute to learn about the company and you will do fine for the interview.

Question 1
What do you think of when you hear the word sales?
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.
