The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual in Nov 2009
Interview
I got a call after talking to the comapny at my university college fair. First, I had a 45 minute phone interview in which I was asked basic questions, such as your strengths, weaknesses, experiences, and walking through my resume. Then after that I had to fill out a personality trst for the internship. Next, i had to list the names of 100 possible clients and their contact information.
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.
I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Greenville, SC)
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.
