I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Edina, MN) in Sep 2023
Interview
Started informal as informational then developed into a formal process. Met other company advisors. Learned about company from different employee perspectives. Overall very well rounded process. They gave me the space and time to make me feel like it was the right place to work. No pressure to decide. Wanted to find me the right fit.

Tell me about what makes you you. What brought you here today.
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 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.
