Complete waste of my time. It is clear to me that they do not care about the individual. I applied and immediately got a link to take an assessment. This assessment was a mix of a bunch of stupid games that do not measure any sort of technical or useful skills or traits whatsoever. It was long and pointless. During one of these games, they gave me a time limit and I had to press the spacebar as many times as I could within the allotted time. Some of the other games were more related to decision making, but this is a dumb way to measure that. I completed the test and the next day, I got an email with another test - this one 90 minutes long. This one, I elected not to take because it was a complete waste of my time. The first one was also a waste of my time and I should not have take it. A word to HR: stop giving these dumb tests that don't give you any useful information to actually be able to assess who the best candidates for the position were. Chances are, the most quality candidates who are applying are not willing to waste 2+ hours of their time taking stupid assessments that you probably don't even look at and even if you did, would not tell you any useful information. You are weeding out pretty much anyone who is not willing to jump through hoops, run around in circles, sit, and roll over for you. This does not benefit us or you. With so many creative minds and technology at our fingertips, I refuse to believe that we can chalk this up to incompetency.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Discover (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2023
Interview
Worst, just stay away from this company, completed all 5 rounds, they took my documents to the attorney for verification and then e-mailed me saying you are not selected after 60 days. It was all internal politics.
An internal recruiter sent me an email with the questions I'm sharing. I replied while on the road. Had a phone screening interview. She seemed VERY disengaged but told me she I was going to move forward to the next round and that she would have an answer next day because she was meeting with the hiring manager. Days went by and radio silence. Sent a follow up email and not even a reply from her. Completely unprofessional. Very surprise such a person is the face of a forward-looking company like Discover.
