Interview
1.Technical screening SQL questions - joins, windows fxns deep drill down 2.4 panel Interview Pretty bad experince I would say,the panel consist of people in managerial /directorial position.The interviewer was in general uninterested, arrogant and looked down on me not sure why is it. Another interviewer just thinks banking experience + 8 YEO is the key to work. The experience is personal to me, other might not through it. Overall - 2 interviewer in panel are just bad representation for firm. Looks like discover needs to attitude cleanse for its old employees.

SQL and drill down on work experience. The 4 panel interview is exhausting and unnecessary .
