I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Charles Schwab in Apr 2015
Interview
Intro Interview followed by a technical interview. They asked about personal life, then school life and what I wanted out of an internship. During the technical interview they asked problem solving questions to test creativeness along with plausible ways to solve or approach a problem.
Dynamic Programming Problem and Then Resume Grilling. Overall the process is easy. Nothing to stress about. Schwab's little slow at recruiting so be patient and wait and reach out to recruiters after a week to remind them because it is possible they might forget about your application.
Good experience recommend it to everyone who is looking to get there foot in the door for a finance job without much stress and a good group of people around them
