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.

I applied online. I interviewed at Discover (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2017
Interview
I was contact by an HR representative via email. I had a preliminary phone interview with the HR manager to screen my background and experience. I had the required background for the role which progressed to a full afternoon of internal interviews with the hiring team. I was disappointed after 4.5 hours of interviews, I could not get a response from the HR contact. I would have liked feedback of even confirmation they went with another candidate. I know they have many strong candidates for each open position, therefore, went with the candidate they felt was the best fit. I followed up after the interview for closure, but I could not get a response from the HR contact. I thought it was unprofessional for such an establish company to not respond at all. A simple email they went with another candidate would have been enough.
