I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Discover (New Castle, DE)
Interview
Applied online on 3/9/15. They sent me a email the next day to take a assessment and schedule a phone interview. They called me a minute before my scheduled phone interview time and asked me about my previous jobs like why did I leave the company why do I want to leave my current employer why did I decide to apply for the job with discover. Went over the job description and a little more details about the position. The phone interview last for about 10-15 mins. At the end of the call we scheduled a in person interview for the next day. I got there 15 mins early and met with the recruiter for about 20 mins. They ask you pretty much the same as the phone interview go over the earliest and latest time u can work tell u the pay and the benefits. You have to place 12 cards in 3 Columns of 4. First row what are u absolutely great at then the 2nd row then the 3rd what could u use improvement on. Cards say things like multi-tasker responsible hardworker level headed enthusiastic achiever etc. Then u meet with the hiring manager for about an hour. He ask the harder questions but not to hard you're asked to role play and some basic interview questions like why discover? Why should we hire you? What do u like most about ur current job etc. at the end they tell u you'll hear back in 3-5 business days. Phone call = good news email = bad news. I got the phone call on day 4! YAY! Lol my advice is to relax be like(able) make them laugh be yourself and DO YOUR RESEARCH ABOUT THE COMPANY AND THE JOB YOU APPLIED FOR! Good luck!
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Discover (Phoenix, AZ) in Mar 2014
Interview
Different, very friendly, polite and really want you to get the job. They try to make you feel as comfortable as possible. I wish all interviews where like Discover. Each interview is a one on one and that makes the interview not so uncomfortable.
HR sent me the wrong JD. The first round is hiring manager phone interview. It is about 30-50 minutes. No technical questions. All based on your resume and behavior question. Not very difficult, but need get good preparation about position and company.
