Application
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Discover (Farnborough, Hampshire, South East England, England) in Aug 2017
Interview
Was invited for a 1 hour interview at their Farnborough office after passing CV to a recruiter, with no initial phone screening, which seems strange these days.
Building is extremely dated and quite embarrassing and was told they are at full capacity. Was interviewed by 3 people. One was 20 mins late, another spent most of their time day dreaming.
Initial feedback was positive but heard nothing at all for over 2 weeks, before being told the position has been taken by someone else, and no other productive feedback.
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Discover (Riverwoods, IL) in Nov 2023
Interview
3 rounds of interview with 3 different agile project managers. It was behavioral and questions were tricky. The team for this position is in receivables division. Question were both technical and situation based.

How did you work with highest technical person who is skipping scrum meetings?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Discover (Riverwoods, IL) in Aug 2023
Interview
The interview process took 3 weeks and there were 4 virtual interviews: an interview with HR (screening), an interview with the Hiring Manager and 2 additional interviews with Professionals from the Cyber Security division. Each interview took between 30-45 minutes. During each interview I was asked about my pervious experience as a Scrum Master and different scenarios that I had to act when blockers or impediments were interrupting the development team to meet deadlines. At the end of the hiring process, I waited 2 additional weeks for a final answer. I reached out to the HR personal 1 week after sending thank you letters to my interviews and was replied back that the team decided to hire another candidate. When I asked for a feedback, I was never gotten a response back.
