      Strategic Analyst - Operations Leadership Program Interview

      21 Oct 2009
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Riverwoods, IL
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Discover (Riverwoods, IL) in Oct 2009

      Interview

      The interview was on campus, and consisted of a half hour case interview, and another half hour of behavioral questions. The case component centered around coming up with strategies, downsides, benefits, and general things to consider about strategies associated with how to contact customers who were behind on payments. Finally there was a very specific case with a series of probabilities. I was required to calculate the overall probability of success of a strategy based on these probabilities. Grab a pen, and focus, and you'll be alright. The second half of the interview was behavioral. Started with the walk me through your resume, why Discover, why this position, and then the behavioral questions. I actually thought the case that involved the probabilities was fairly difficult. Definitely felt a little dry as well. Not a very exciting introduction to the financial services world, and definitely the most technical interview I had of the 8 places I interviewed.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      If we undertake a campaign to contact our 30 day overdue group of customers, what is our overall probability of success given the following probabilities: 50% chance of having their e-mail on file 20% chance of a customer paying their bill without us contacting them 30% chance of a customer reading the e-mail we send them 30% chance of a customer making a payment if they read the e-mail etc.
