I applied online. I interviewed at Discover (Dallas-Fort Worth) in Feb 2023
Interview
The interview process is in two stages for me. The first in one hour long interview covering knowledge of core java, SQL, messaging queues such as Kafka, Microservices.The second stage is a 3 hours long interview coveriing deep dive into microservices and cloud deployment using Kuberbernetes. leetcode question was chipped, system design of distributed system, then followed by couple of behavioral questions
1 technical screening with basic resume scan and experience,
3 behavioral interviews with senior managers - this is too much, and 1 whiteboard session with staff software engineer to discuss any system design question.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Discover in Feb 2025
Interview
First round technical, then if you're recommended there will be four more round. 1 white Board Session with system design and LLD, three are managerial round. Gave all five round interview, answered all the technical concept as well system design. Final round with one of the senior manager was such a waste of time. was very rude and asked personal question which is not align with job and very rude. Got rejected saying experience and tech expertise aligns more for senior application engineer. Waste of time, after 5 rounds of interview
