I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual in Aug 2024
Interview
They called me for a phone screen but I missed the call. I called them back when I was free a few hours later and I continued to call them daily for a few days. I’m not desperate for a job, so I stopped calling. The recruiter said they’d be available that same day to talk, but they were not. This is a terrible recruiting experience. My application was submitted a month ago, and I’m just now hearing back from NM. However, now I’ve been ghosted.
I applied online. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual
Interview
30 minute phone screen. Pretty standard. I sent 4 follow up emails in a months time. Never got a reply, not one. Stay away because they aren't actually hiring. I was told I would hear back in two days if I was going to be moved along. It's been two months now.
