I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual in Jan 2021
Interview
In our first conversation, it was really a good opportunity to learn more about the business and the training required over the next few months. I thought it was really educational. Afterwards, I met with an advisor, who spoke about his career path and what lead him to become an advisor. This was a good opportunity to ask a ton of day-to-day questions and learn more about the career.

Question 1
What do you like about our company from what you’ve learned so far during the hiring process?
Very professional and provide a deep background and understanding of the company. The recruiters are very friendly and help guide you through the interview process. Is a multi-step interview process including surveys and questionaries.
I applied online. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (San Diego, CA) in Jun 2026
Interview
The interview process is smooth, they get back to you relatively quickly. I completed the first 3 rounds within a week but they did reschedule my 4th interview after confirming. Nothing bad to say yet honestly.
I went through three rounds. You have an initial screening, a one hour interview with an advisor, then meet with a partner in-person if possible. Very detailed, and they bring up cultural test results and financial projections.
