I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Discover (Chicago, IL)
Interview
I had an initial phone interview with HR. After this I was scheduled for a face to face interviews in the Chicago suburb office with the hiring manager and others on the team (over a month after speaking with HR).
The entire process was very slow and I felt that I was treated in a dismissive manner during the process. It didn't feel like they had a genuine interest in me, which was odd that they put me through the entire interview process (which made me wonder if I was just a diversity checkbox for them). All interviews were very robotic, all behavioral questions, so there was no real attempt by most interviewers in having real human conversations!
Although they have mentioned several times (and it is customary in the industry to reimburse travel expenses for candidates) it has been over 2 months since my interview and I am still waiting for my travel expenses to be reimbursed; very rude and disrespectful in my opinion.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Discover
Interview
It is very straightforward, not much technical, more focusing on if you can fit in. Not much technical, just very basic knowledge because they don't expect you knowing much. They provided housing in the inn next to Discover headquarter, so that was awesome.

Question 1
Java and SQL basics were asked, but they just want to see if you know stuff, not having to be hardcore
I applied online. I interviewed at Discover (Salt Lake City, UT)
Interview
Applied. Was contacted a few days later for a phone interview. It lasted about a half hour and was general questions. Then contacted a few days later for an in person interview. Interview lasted a few hours. Afterwards did not hear anything for a few weeks, but noticed that the job was re-posted without any response from the hiring manager or HR.
