I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Charles Schwab in Sept 2013
Interview
Applied online. About 2 weeks later, had an initial phone interview. Lasted about a half hour and was basically just verifying what was written in my resume and that I had the required skills listed in the job announcement, At the end, the lady discusses the company and the typical benefits and pay range. They also ask you for desired salary range and let you know the next steps in the process. The next step was a phone interview with the hiring manager for this department. That was arranged for about a week later. This was only a little more technical. I was told that the next step,should I make it that far, was an in person interview with a few members of the development team and it would be more technical. No call back, however.
