I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Discover in Jan 2011
Interview
They have very professional interview process. If you pass first round of phone interview, you will be invited for an on-site interview. First round with HR, they will try to understand your current salary and your expected salary and then they will introduce benefits that the company can offer.
After that you will meet with hiring manager and team members for technical interviews.
I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Discover (West Valley City, UT)
Interview
The interview process when I was hired consisted of three interviews or levels. The first one was HR, the second was a team leader, and the third was a department manager. You need to pass each level to get hired and the questions get a bit harder each time. Just keep it professional, on topic (relevant), and having experience or talking about sales really helps.
After working here for a while you will see all kinds of people that have worked here. It seems overkill to really go to the level they make you go through for a job. They really should talk to you for a bit, confirm you are not a criminal and a decent person and give you a shot.
Was a normal processes. There was no big surprises. The did ask the crazy question "What type of crazy are you". The interviewer was cool but they low balled the salary. I had to decline the job but good for entry level position. The schedule was weekend friendly, which was a very good thing.
