      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Boston, MA) in Oct 2016

      Interview

      Interviewer was respectful. Partners seemed to be honest about the sales experience and the job responsibilities. They were mostly looking for past successful sales experience or a total beginner to start with their natural market.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (White Plains, NY) in Jan 2022

      Interview

      Was called a week prior to the day the interview was to take place and was asked to fill out a survey, was not made aware until the time of the interview a week later that based off of my answers to the survey, the company deemed anyone who answered 1 of the 50 questions a certain way in the survey was not a good fit for the company, and they told me they would not conduct the interview

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What made you apply to this job? How would you describe yourself in the work setting? How would you describe a great employee? Do you like to be the center of attention or do you like to be in the background?
