      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Vernon Hills, IL) in Aug 2025

      Interview

      "I was scheduled for my “final interview” Monday at 11 AM. The recruiter emailed me at 7 AM saying I didn’t do enough work on one of their homework assignments. “Good luck with the rest of your career” Frankie said. The assignment in question was a list of 100 names numbers and addresses to fill out. He said this was just for me. I filled out as many contacts as I could, but I didn’t reach 100. Frankie texted me at 7am and said I failed to meet the requirements for the final interview. This company scammed me for my personal information, plain and simple."
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Milwaukee, WI)

      Interview

      The onboarding program immediately felt like an MLM. The interviewer was nice, but I realized this was not the right kind of job for me. They want you to sign people you know (parents, grandparents, siblings, etc.)

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Frisco, TX)

      Interview

      Nice office and the initial interview went well. Then I was handed off to someone for a second interview who had no idea I was arriving. Account executive is a fancy name for someone who just. stands outside a Sam's club offering insurance.
