I completed an initial informational phone conversation, followed by an extensive Skills/Personality Test. I was then contacted by the recruiter, who informed me I my test results were great. We scheduled an hour-long phone interview, where the recruiter told me all about Northwestern and the work I would do. I was asked about my background, goals, strengths, weaknesses, and I had a chance to ask the recruiter anything. Then I was brought in for 2 separate 1:1 interviews. The first of which was a condenesed version of the phone interview with the recruiter, and the second was with a person who discussed market potential. I am still in the (lengthy)interview process. Everything was essentially what I expected, and their expectations for success are high.

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.
