I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Englewood, CO) in Aug 2009
Interview
They basically give you a sales pitch for one entire hour. You realize that you will make virturally no money for one to two years and your entire paycheck is based on commissions. So they try hard to get you to work for nothing. Though there is potential, there is a lot of competition.

I applied online. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (San Diego, CA) in Jun 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.
