They were very professional and scheduling went smoothly without any troubles. They will put you through an interview, ask you to complete an "assessment," followed by two more rounds of interviewing. It is a lot of work for a company that hires many, many interns. As for the interview itself, it was very easy. Be prepared to talk about your resume in depth. The interviewers were very friendly people and made you feel very comfortable... *UNFORTUNATELY* As mentioned in other reviews, you will NOT be a true financial representative! You will be a life insurance salesperson. They will certainly tell you ANYTHING it takes to make you have a favorable impression. For example, I told them that I was interested in finance and financial planning. They nodded their heads and told me that's what I would be doing. As the interview went on, they slowly revealed that the internship would be geared quite highly towards life insurance. I did appreciate that they were upfront about the fact that they do NOT cold call. However, they glazed over their reliance of their salespeople sucking in their "social network" (i.e. family and friends). They also inform you that it will not be a traditional 9 to 5 job. Hours are determined by how much or little you want to work. but also, you are paid by commission. I have no idea what "mentors" will expect out of you. (for more information, go to youtube and look up: "A Day In The Life: Recent College Graduate @ Northwestern Mutual") *I admit, I was quite disturbed at their lies and deceptions and tricks that start literally in the job title. To Ace The Interview: 1) they seem to love friendly, personable people 2) be able to talk about your resume (they will ask you easy lead in questions) 3) **Show that you have a strong social network/networking skills. (ex; I put together an intramural dodge ball team through networking) REMEMBER: you will be a life insurance salesperson!

The interview process was not that professional. It was basically a sales pitch why you should join their company. They said that you didn't need any prior financial knowledge despite it being a finance role. They claimed that they will teach you everything you will need to be an expert which doesn't make sense when people like me are in school for a finance degree.
