I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Charles Schwab (Phoenix, AZ) in May 2017
Interview
Started as an initial phone interview with recruiter. Led to an on-campus interview at the Phoenix location with two managers. The in-person interview was definitely smooth and very relaxed. They made sure to make me feel comfortable. Just a few hours after the interview, my recruiter called saying they wanted to move me into the next steps of the process- the background check. This was definitely the longest, most anxious part of my experience. Due to me being from out of state and the thoroughness of the screening, it was a very long 3-week waiting period. Finally though, it came back clear and I was given an offer. Total time from phone interview to start day is almost exactly 2 months.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Charles Schwab (Indianapolis, IN) in June 2021
Interview
The interview process consisted of an initial phone screening, a second phone interview, and then a Zoom interview. I completed my entire process within two weeks so it was very streamlined and expectations were clear.

I applied online. I interviewed at Charles Schwab (Westlake, TX) in Apr 2021
Interview
I had three interviews, the last one with the hiring manager of the department I applied to. All three of the interviews were fabulous. Every person I spoke with was very kind. The last one takes about an hour. When selected for an interview with a hiring manager, you will receive an email with a lot of information about the position including videos. Watch them, read everything you receive. Look over the job description and prepare questions if you have any. If you're prepared, you will be ok.
