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.

Entretien moyen
Candidature
J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 5 jours. J'ai passé un entretien chez Northwestern Mutual en oct. 2011
Entretien
Had to take a personality test, that took roughly half an hour, reasonably straightforward. Then went for a 1:1 interview. The interview was behavior focused, questions about life. Selling insurance needs a certain type of person, and this is made abundantly clear during the interview. The recruiter is very polite and seemed to be a very nice person, but it is a tough and competitive business.

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.
