I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual in Aug 2024
Interview
Initial phone screening was extremely easy, and that was followed by a roughly 30min interview with an initial recruiter before I had another 30min interview with someone at the actual office location (a higher manager). Everyone was extremely friendly and easy to talk to, and personality fit was clearly more important than technical questions, but it was quickly clear that this would be, in my opinion, a grimy sales position. In fact, the manager I spoke with told me one of the first exercises would be making a list of like 100 people I knew, and then I would reach out to sell life insurance. I withdrew from the interview process even though I was offered to go through to the next round with an in-person interview.
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 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.

Question 1
Who is someone in your current network that could benefit from this?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual
Interview
Fortunately it was a decent introduction call.
Unfortunately the recruiter did not know the mission statement for the organization and did not look it up to share it.
Was also informed there were still to be four interviews in the interview process.
