I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Discover (Riverwoods, IL) in Apr 2013
Interview
I got an email about midway through March asking me to come down to their office. It was a 2 day process and we got put up in a hotel nearby. The first day was just dinner and although it seems friendly, I got the sense that I was being judged by the employees. No problem, that happens at all dinners I've been to with potential employees. The next day, I faced an orientation of sorts, before 3 30 minute long interviews. Most interviewers seemed little disinterested. I spent longer talking to one about her upcoming pregnancy than anything else but overall it was quite casual. Asked basic questions, nothing too surprising, and time went by faster than I thought. After, had a lunch break followed by a 'group discussion' where we were meant to talk about Discover. I recommend you really read up about Discover and it's products as it was obvious who had and hadn't. This is where they almost grill you and you know you're competing with the 4 people sat around you for that job. After, we had a pretty relaxed group presentation. They gave us 30 minutes to basically conduct a SWOT analysis of Discover. All in all, was good, not too grueling but READ UP about all their products, etc.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Discover (New York, NY)
Interview
Met with two recruiters. The whole interview was behavioral. Pretty basic questions. Never sent me a rejection email so was left waiting for months wondering. That was pretty disappointing.

I applied through university. I interviewed at Discover (Chicago, IL)
Interview
I met the campus recruiters through the school career fair and attended a networking event shortly after. Had two 30-min interviews, mostly behavioral (but they asked a lot of specific questions about Discover) a few weeks later. After a month of so, I went to headquarters in Chicago, IL for final round interviews. That day consisted of a tour, 2 30-min interviews, 1 case study, a panel of current employees (where we got to ask them questions and a tour. Good experience overall

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Discover
Interview
Applied online via a school website. Was called in for an interview. It was 30 mins with one guy and 30 mins with the other. Nothing too unexpected but asked a lot about what I knew specifically about Discover and their services and how they were different from their competitors.
