I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Omaha, NE) in Feb 2014
Interview
They don't stress enough that the model they are expecting is for you to be a business owner from day 1. The commissions are enhanced, but it also costs a lot to start a company and that wasn't made clear enough during the interview process.

Question 1
What do you expect to get out of this opportunity?
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.
I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (Greenville, SC)
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.
