I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (West Hartford, CT) in Sep 2012
Interview
Quick to call, quick to get you in the door, quick to interview. They ask you basic questions and make you complete surveys that will determine if you're eligible for employment. You have to get above a certain score on each test, otherwise they cannot extend an offer.

Question 1
How much money do you have in your savings account?
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.
