The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Columbus, OH) in Aug 2009
Interview
I went in for my first round interview and my interviewer simply read 15 generic interview questions to me. The interviewer never even looked up at me as they were too busy writing down my answers, which proved to be sufficient enough to warrant a second round interview. However, a more interesting job prospect came along prior to that interview and I called off my short relationship with NMFN.
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.
