      Intern Interview

      Apr 21, 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Baton Rouge, LA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Baton Rouge, LA) in Mar 2013

      Interview

      They were easy to communicate with and were easy with scheduling an interview that fit my schedule. I had 3 interviews, which felt unnecessary as the first two were the exact same asking very basic questions. They basically had me read my resume to them and explain it. On the third interview they didn't ask any questions, instead they explained to me what they wanted me to do before the 4th interview. They wanted me to interview 5 people and give their names, phone numbers, and what they do for a living. They also wanted me to ask them questions about how much they make, who is their financial advisor, are they happy with their advisor, and 5 names and numbers of people they thought could benefit from Northwestern Mutual's service. This put me off big time. If I had done this as I was instructed, they would have been able to solicit 30 of my family friends for business and would have known a good bit about their financial situation. The main thing that put me off about this is that then and only then would they have considered me for the internship position. I talked it over with my parents and politely told them no thank you.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      As stated above, they asked me to interview 5 people to get their names, phone numbers, occupation, who their financial advisor is, and if they are happy with their current advisor. The last question is to get 5 names and numbers from them of people they think could benefit from our service.

      I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Seattle, WA)

      Interview

      they try to sell you on why to work there, not interviewing you yourself. Seemed sketchy from the start. For the brave to take on, not my cup of tea

      I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual

      Interview

      Straightforward process, interviewed with them on campus. They provided the information I needed. I decided to not move ahead with the interview process as it did not align with my goals, but the interviewers were cordial and professional.

      I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual

      Interview

      Felt like they were selling me something the whole time. Super easy to talk to, but something just felt off the whole time. Had multiple phases of them explaining why they're so perfect and great to work for (massive selection bias in some of their numbers)
