The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Atlanta, GA) in Apr 2009
Interview
Started the interview process 3 months out of college. Had an initial phone screen, followed by a personality test. Once you pass those two steps, you are invited into the local office for a 1:1 interview. It lasted for almost 2 hours, and was focused primarily on if you have what it takes to work hard, as it is a very difficult business to ramp up.

Question 1
Why do you want to start your own financial services practice?
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.

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.
