I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Discover (Riverwoods, IL) in Sep 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Using quotes here because IMO someone who has been with the company 20+ years with good knowledge about the company but outdated/stale skills in the area of modern software engineer was probably promoted to that position for other reasons.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.
