I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Charles Schwab (Lone Tree, CO) in Dec 2014
Interview
Initial phone screen with recruiter, followed by a phone interview with the hiring manager whose team you'd be on. Very technical questions like the 4 principle of object oriented programming among others. They wanted someone with more extensive computer programming/software development experience. In the end, I never even got an email back indicating they were moving forward with other candidates.
