I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Discover in Feb 2017
Interview
I applied for the role in Dec of 2016 with an employee referral. I was contacted by an HR representative in Feb 2017 and invited to interview in-person at the Riverwoods location. My invitation was revoked shortly after and I was invited to interview by phone instead.
At the time of my first interview, I was notified that the manager was unable to attend the call for personal reasons. I interviewed with a direct report instead. The interview appeared to go well and the recruiter scheduled a follow up interview with the manager.
I interviewed with the hiring manager by phone that same week. I thought the interview went well. The interview went for about 30 minutes but was ended abruptly. I was not given an opportunity to ask questions at the end of our conversation.
I followed up 1 week later. The recruiter mentioned that next steps would be shared by the first week of March.
I followed up again March 6th, no response.
I followed up a final time March 13th, no response.
Today I finally received a notice informing me that there will be no further action. The process took more than 3 months from the time I that applied to the notice of decline. It appears there were some major communication issues with this process. I’m still very interested in the company but I’d rate this specific experience poorly.
