I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Discover in Feb 2024
Interview
Went through back to back 6 interviews which had same/similar very basic and naïve questions. This showed maturity of that organization. I would always stay away from an organization where majority of people are non-technical and expect the developer to deliver everything!!!
5 rounds of interview. First round 30 mins technical. Then next four rounds of 1 hour each (again technical). One was behavioral and last one was white board session. One round was with hiring manager and other were with team leads.

Question 1
REST API, Springboot, Behavioural round, other technical questions on Java
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Discover (Riverwoods, IL) in Sept 2023
Interview
Met with their top "architect". Using quotes here because IMO someone who has been with the company 20+ years with good knowledge about the company but outdated/stale skills in the area of modern software engineer was probably promoted to that position for other reasons. They asked me questions that were hot about 15 years ago. I did not get an offer but would think twice before accepting it as I got a pretty vivid picture of my future there.

Question 1
What is the difference between monolith and microservices based systems. Advantages using microservices. Interviewer seemed more interested in finding holes in your Resume than assessing your skills. They clearly hadn't prepared for the interview and were going over my Resume during the process.
