Went to a job fair where I asked how to apply. Applied via a pretty long application through their website. I was notified for an interview about 2 weeks late. They came to my school and interviewed a lot of candidates. I then got notice of a second interview at their headquarters

Question 1
Analytic questions where they want o see how you think. They will ask you something that no one would know off the top of their head and they want to see how you work to figure it out. Know your math!
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Discover (Bloomington, IN) in Oct 2012
Interview
They came on-campus to conduct interviews. The interview consisted of 30 minutes of critical thinking questions and another 30 minutes of behavioral questions. They contact you within the next two weeks to let you know whether you get a second round interview. The second round of interviews are the same structure, but consist of much more rigorous questions.
