I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Discover in Feb 2025
Interview
First round technical, then if you're recommended there will be four more round. 1 white Board Session with system design and LLD, three are managerial round. Gave all five round interview, answered all the technical concept as well system design. Final round with one of the senior manager was such a waste of time. was very rude and asked personal question which is not align with job and very rude. Got rejected saying experience and tech expertise aligns more for senior application engineer. Waste of time, after 5 rounds of interview
