I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Seattle, WA) in Nov 2021
Interview
Hiring manager was very outgoing and comforting. She made me feel super confident during the entire interview process. I was offered to proceed to the next round of interviews however, I did not feel the job was a great fit for me. Overall, great interview experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are your strengths?
Explain a time in your life when you overcame adversity and how it shaped you.
Describe who you are both personally and professionally
Very kind people, genuinely want you to be there. Both first and second round interviews were really pleasant and gave descriptions about what job would look like. They did cancel my interview twice, once for a golf tournament, but good interviewing experience.
The interview process is really laidback. Someone will contact you to get the interview process started. It is only behavioral questions and then the interviewer will describe the position in further detail.
