I applied online. I interviewed at Discover (Chicago, IL)
Interview
I cleared the technical round with good merit and went to on site for final round. One of the interviewer in the panel was not even listening to my words and asked irrelevant question. Later he was corrected by other panel member. After a week recruiter called me and said I cleared the round but one of the manger from the discover wants to talk to me, I said yes, manger gave a call to me and he was speaking as if he's in hurry. He said the panel has forwarded your application to me and they you are interested in taking a developing position, but right now I don't have any developer positions available in my team, I can offer you a production support. I said I'm ok with the offer. Next day the recruiter sent an email saying that they were not interested in offering a position. I called the recruiter and asked the reason, he didn't gave any explanation. I totally don't understand, why the panel forwarded my application to the wrong manager who don't have any vacant positions. If that manager don't have any positions with him then why did he accepted the forwarded application from the panel. Why does the so called experienced person in the interview panel was not paying attention to what I'm saying? After this incident I strongly felt their interview process sucks in evaluating good candidates.

Typical interview questions which were prepared by HR.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Discover (Riverwoods, IL) in May 2019
Interview
I was contacted by a Discover recruiter on LinkedIn about a position that he thought that I would be a fit for. We set up a call and we discussed the position in depth and my salary requirements. The recruiter confirmed that it was within the range of the posting. We never talked about my qualifications and I brought that up at the end of the conversation and he stated that he got a lot of good detail from my LinkedIn profile and that I would be moving directly to the hiring manager for review and that I would hear something within a few days. We also discussed what the interview would be like. A week later I still hadn’t heard from anyone at Discover so I reached out to the recruiter and did not receive a response. Another week later, I received a generic rejection email.
All of this to say, this was a very poor recruiting experience. Not only did they approach me about the job, but they set false expectations about the next steps, didn’t communicate after the expected timeframe had expired nor did they communicate after I sent a follow up email and then they sent a generic rejection email when I didn’t even have an interview in the first place.
