I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Discover (Chicago, IL) in May 2022
Interview
I interviewed for the Senior Business Data Analyst position at Discover. The process was very organized and professional from start to finish. The recruiting team communicated clearly and provided a detailed interview schedule well in advance, which made it easy to prepare.
The final round consisted of four 30 to 45-minute Microsoft Teams video interviews spread across two days. Each interview was with a different person— ranging from senior managers to a principal analyst — which gave a well-rounded view of the team and role.
