I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Discover in Dec 2012
Interview
From such a big company, I was expecting a long interview process, with multiple touch points and multiple individuals. I had one call with the VP of the business (new product, new team was just forming) for a half an hour. At the end of the call, I was asked if I wanted to come in for a face to face.
A week later, on a Friday at 4pm, I walked in and had another half an hour with the same VP, then another half an hour with the next in command, the director of marketing and analytics. Three days later I got a call from HR with an offer. It was the easiest, simplest interview I have been through. Ever.
After 2 years, I am still very happy with the team and the company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There were two positions, very similar, that needed to be filled. One was to Marketing Analytics and the other for Operations Analytics. I was asked where I think I would fit better. With no previous experience in the industry, and limited information I weighted my potential contribution to each area.
