It was a quick setup to get the first interview. Then there are two more interviews that took longer to set up and extended the hiring process. They are very nice though.

Tell me about yourself and why northwestern mutual
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual in Jul 2021
Interview
I had two interviews within the course of a week. The first interview had to be pushed back a day due to technical errors on the interviewers' end. I was assigned to do a market survey which was straightforward. In the second interview, I went over my experience while doing the market survey. Overall it was a unique and eye-opening experience, but if you aren't okay with selling insurance then I wouldn't recommend this internship
