I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Discover in Jun 2012
Interview
Had a typical phone interview/screening via internal recruiter - 10 minutes or so - and scheduled an interview with two potential bosses, the ones I would report to. The panel interview was 60-80 minutes long, and I was asked a lot of interview questions, like "Tell me a time when you had to meet deadlines and manage workload" or "Give an example of when you had to use teamwork to get a project done". Discover has a list of 17 or so questions that they ask everybody (presumably) and take notes as you answer. After the mandatory list, one or two free questions were asked and I got to ask some in return.
Beyond that interview, internal recruiter (from national office) followed up and scheduled a second interview, this time with two of the middle managers, who's team I'd support. This interview was less formal, no set question list. The impression I got was they needed to see how I'd interact with the team and double check I could do the work.
Internal recruiter contacted me again post interview and began negotiating a potential offer.
Overall, the interviews were great and positive, but the follow ups and screening interviews/negotiation with the HR recruiter were terrible.
