The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Charles Schwab (Phoenix, AZ) in Oct 2009
Interview
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.

Interview
Smooth, on time, questions were what I expected. Asked about previous work, times I solved problems ect. Seemed genuinely interested and invested in my answers. Shared information about the company so I would know at least the basics about it.
I applied online. I interviewed at Charles Schwab (Austin, TX) in Feb 2020
Interview
It was a very short conversation it lasted about 10 minutes. The interviewer gave a general description of the role and how it worked. They asked very generic questions and seemed to be taking notes.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Charles Schwab (Austin, TX) in Mar 2018
Interview
There are 3 rounds of interviews. The first round is mostly about the company and where you see yourself, the second assessed your personality and I believe there was an online test to determine your mathematical abilities and familiarity with investments. The last interview was over Skype as I am not currently located near the job site. Hiring staff was friendly, helpful, and responsive.
