I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Charles Schwab (Chicago, IL) in Mar 2015
Interview
The interview process was fairly relaxed. Started off with an initial phone screen from HR. Then I came in for five rounds of individual interviews with various team members. The phone screen was mainly behavioral questions which I found tougher than the in person interviews. A week later you have to do a background check before they give you the official offer. The time to decide on the offer was three days for me.
Dynamic Programming Problem and Then Resume Grilling. Overall the process is easy. Nothing to stress about. Schwab's little slow at recruiting so be patient and wait and reach out to recruiters after a week to remind them because it is possible they might forget about your application.
Good experience recommend it to everyone who is looking to get there foot in the door for a finance job without much stress and a good group of people around them
