Interviewed Sep 2010 in Orlando, FL (took 4+ weeks)
The hiring process was long due to the extreme care the company takes in finding the right fit. Although many steps involved in the process beginning with an online assessment and ending in a background check, they were quick to get back to you after each step of the process.

Interviewed May 2010 (took 3 weeks)
First I applied online and a couple days later, was contacted by a Schwab employee to set up a phone interview. The phone interview was pretty long, almost an hour, consisting of mostly why i wanted to work for them, what i knew about the company and a few practice behavioral questions. After, I was invited to an information session where they explained the position more in depth and talked about the company atmosphere. From there I was called back by a recruiter setting up an interview with two hiring managers. The whole interview seemed pretty ridiculous considering they were only focused about asking behavioral questions, not really focusing on any part of my resume. They came back a few days later with a generic schwab rejection email. No direct contact with any of the recruiters afterwards.

Interviewed Jun 2009 in Phoenix, AZ (took 6 days)
The entire process was pretty lengthy. Although the initial phone interview took unusually long. On site interview was also pretty long and they appreciate enthusiasm. Culture and people are stressed at Schwab. If you are looking to start a career in the business, This place is a decent place to start, If you have any experience at all and also are licensed, you will be appalled at the starting salary.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Phoenix, AZ (took 4+ weeks)
First a recruiter will call you and make the initial contact simply to set up a phone screen. You will then interview with the recruiter and if they like what you have to say you will set up an interview with two hiring managers. Mine was the direct manager of the team I was interviewing for and the operational manager who was in charge of operations improvement. During the interview face to face there were several questions regarding why I was leaving my current job and what makes me a good candidate for this specific position. After that you will be put through to a background/credit check and if you pass that they will extend you a formal offer.
