I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Newport Beach, CA) in Feb 2015
Interview
The interview process was smooth. The whole process didn't even seem like an interview. The interviewer makes sure to make you feel comfortable throughout the interview. It seemed more like a talk that one would have on the first day of college when one is looking to make new friends and meet new people. Despite that, the interviewer still managed to maintain a professional environment.
There were four or five interviews, if you count the meeting with my future mentor. There were also a few personality assessments. Lots of paperwork. The finance industry is tightly regulated.
The first interview was easygoing and went fairly well. We talked a little on myself and what northwestern was all about. Because they wanted to see how I could fit in to their team and what I would bring.

Interview
The process was smooth and straight forward. A lot of behavioral based questions, but relaxed and low stress. First phase is a phone screening followed by a teams or in person meeting.
