Interview
Has a initial round with recruiter and then 1 technical round for 1 hr followed by 5 hr interview with 4 people which has technical and behavioral rounds. After answering well they offered me application engineer instead of principal application engineer. Also they are trying to underpay. Very bad experience!!

I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Discover (Riverwoods, IL) in Nov 2022
Interview
Found job posting on Linkedin and applied directly on company job portal. Recruiter contacted 2 days after my submission. It took 2 weeks to get the 1st tech round scheduled. Heard back from the recruiter after 1 week asking for availability for the next set of interviews. Wrapped up 4 rounds (1 tech, 1 SD and 2 Sr Mgr (behavioral) rounds) in a week. Heard back from the recruiter with a job offer just before ThanksGiving. The entire process took about 5 weeks. There is certainly a communication gap b/w recruiter and candidate. Compared to other orgs, the recruiters constantly keep in touch and provide awareness of the situation and progress which severely lacked here. Having said that, the hiring team is just amazing bunch of people. I had one of the best interviewing experience with them. All 5 folks are welcoming and make you feel relaxed and comfortable during the entire length of the interview. Looking forward to work with them.
