I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Discover (Riverwoods, IL) in Aug 2023
Interview
The interview process took 3 weeks and there were 4 virtual interviews: an interview with HR (screening), an interview with the Hiring Manager and 2 additional interviews with Professionals from the Cyber Security division. Each interview took between 30-45 minutes. During each interview I was asked about my pervious experience as a Scrum Master and different scenarios that I had to act when blockers or impediments were interrupting the development team to meet deadlines. At the end of the hiring process, I waited 2 additional weeks for a final answer. I reached out to the HR personal 1 week after sending thank you letters to my interviews and was replied back that the team decided to hire another candidate. When I asked for a feedback, I was never gotten a response back.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Discover in Sep 2023
Interview
The process is quite easy, the first round starts with the HR call then after matching the skills and requirements your application gets forwarded for another screening round where a technical manager shows up and asks you questions related to Java, Spring Boot, AWS, & Kafka. Also few questions related to projects were asked. After passing this round you schedule for three different interviews with all senior devs. Two rounds are based on the behavioral and few but easy technical questions. Most of the questions are based on your resume. The last interview was a coding round, for me, it was fully system design. I was unprepared for this round so I could not go through it. Overall it was a nice experience, the interviewers were really nice and helped a lot through the process.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Discover (Phoenix, AZ) in Jan 2022
Interview
Two rounds of interview, a screening, and next an hour long interview testing skills/behavioral things. Wasn’t too bad, got an offer instantly. Actual job can be draining. Good pay, can get commission, but feels like school and quality graded you on everything. One bad call can literally ruin eligibility for commission.
