I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Discover (Riverwoods, IL) in Oct 2020
Interview
The interview was probably the best tech interview I've ever had. The coding exam was mainly multiple choice covering pretty much everything you would have learned in your CS degree, the basics. Things like sorting, database systems, basic java, etc. Then there were 5 coding problems that any sophomore should be able to answer with relative ease. 1 database sql problem, a few array problems, a get/post problem (that full disclosure I didn't know how to solve and left blank and still got the job). Then was your standard behavioral interview and then 2 hiring manager interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
When was a time you encountered difficulty with a project and how did you manage it?
Lead me through the code you did on x problem on the coding test we gave you.

Interview
Apply 07/24 -> OA1 07/26 -> OA2 08/16 -> Phone 08/29 -> Technical 09/20 -> Behavioral 10/03 -> Offer (Rejected 10/11) Super long process. I got rejected after the behavioral so I'm especially mad about it. OA1 is some IQ test, OA2 is coding challenge. You don't need 100% to move on. Phone is just regular phone screen. Technical is supposed to be going over the OA, but for me I just got resume grilled, no leetcode. Behavioral is just standard, I got rejected after this stage and I'm genuinely not sure why. I literally got told by my interviewer "it sounds like you'll be a great fit here". Then I got rejected. Ok I guess.
There was a technical interview which asked basic CS fundamentals on data structures, algorithms etc. and had 3 coding challenges one of them was database. The second technical interview asked to explain solutions. Next was behavioural interview with the manager.

Interview
It was a video interview, overall it was okay. The questions were medium-hard. I suggest you google: 61 Cybersecurity Job Interview Questions and Answers. That helped me as 50% of the questions were technical. PREPARE for technical questions, and have good questions at the end! If I could do this interview again I would work on that! good luck :)
