I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Discover (Riverwoods, IL) in Nov 2019
Interview
Met recruiter at a conference. Got a call 2 weeks later for a phone interview by another recruiter. Then had an on-site at the Discover Campus in Illinois. Discover really takes care of you throughout the process. There is an evening reception the night before the super day- this is an opportunity to check what kind of projects interns have worked on in the past and which team you would fit into.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The biggest focus is on culture fit and then technical skills. The super-day has a speed dating format where you have two 45 minute interviews with a rotating interviewer in the same room.
General behavioral questions on how you manage several projects at the same time, describe a time you had a difficult stakeholder, why Discover.
Technical questions on your past data based project. What variables did you use and why? Rate your SQL experience- then a couple query based questions.
Overall a really solid process!
