I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Discover (Riverwoods, IL)
Interview
I actually interviewed for two different jobs at Discover - Card side was extremely detailed and organized. Network side was much more on-the-fly and fewer layers. Network process started with a phone call from the recruiter in which she detailed the position to me, followed by a phone interview with the hiring manager, then phone interview with the person I would be replacing, and finished with a 2-3 hour in-person interview with 4 people - hiring manager, hiring manager's boss, another colleague, and the HR recruiter.
Interview process wasn't difficult, although the HR recruiter was a bit off-putting - pretty aggressive and asking extremely rudimentary questions. They also forgot to tell me to bring work samples, but after a month of silence, I was offered the position. I almost didn't accept but I'm glad I did - it seems like a really great place to work.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Discover
Interview
Was contacted by an HR person, after being turned down for the job I actually applied for. Interviews were set up with 4 people. Half of them weren't available, so they had me talk to people who weren't prepared to interview me, and had no idea what to ask me or what to talk about.
I applied online. I interviewed at Discover (Houston, TX)
Interview
First met with manager outside of office for coffee. Then was asked to come in the office and started meeting all the Senior Managers and President. This interview process happened for several days then they finger printed me and started background check and drug test.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
None. All were typical interviews the most tiring thing was there were so many interviews by different managers so you just kept repeating your story.
