I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Discover
Interview
I received a schedule for 4 interviews in 4 hours. My first interview started 30 minutes late and the entire process was very unorganized. The interviewers seemed distracted and were not very attentive. One was reading text messages while I answered questions. I also had the impression based on descriptions of the company that people are extremely micromanaged at Discover. i went in excited to get an interview at what appeared from the outside to be a great place to work and left feeling that I would not want to work there. I received a call a few days later telling me the position had gone to an internal candidate. Maybe this explains the disinterest of the interviewers and the rude way I was treated. I think they just used me to check off the "interviewed outside candidate box". I however put a great deal of time and effort into preparing for and going to the interview. I don't have a very high opinion of this company any more.
