      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Discover (Newark, DE) in Apr 2014

      Interview

      Interview process was straight forward as well as informative. Phone screening was through Skype. In person interview was at the Delaware office. Staff was very friendly and relaxed. They did a great job at explaining the nature of the position. Questions that were asked were not too difficult and were the standard interview questions i.e. STAR questions.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Discover (New Castle, DE) in Mar 2015

      Interview

      Brought in internally for a primary interview after approved by HR. After interview, was notified within a week of the result. Easy process, much easier than external hire, which requires phone screen, two interviews, and background check. The questions were mostly data and analysis-focused, which was suitable for the job. Not a lot of generic gimme questions.

      Staff Associate Interview

      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Discover (New Castle, DE) in Feb 2014

      Interview

      Meet first with the HR representative for about a half hour. Then went through a one hour interview with two project managers. Pretty standard process. Next level of interviews was with two Senior Managers. Not very difficult. Last interview was Director level. At this point, you have the job and discussion is more centered around how Discover works and the way they go about things.
