I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA) in Mar 2012
Interview
1. Given a Math and Verbal Skills Test
2. Invited to a Case Interview (on-campus)
3. Invited to Power day in Richmond,VA
Power day ( given another case interview, job fit interview, and a behavioral interview)
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had to persuade someone?
Smooth; minicase is verbally presented; may be hard to understand depending on the interviewer. May need to ask many more questions to clarify the questions asked during the case. But overall, it is fairly easy
Three rounds of interviews, two of them are case based to assess technical knowledge (first case is relatively easy, calculation needed), one is mainly behavioural questions with the team leader
1st round was 45 mins. Simple case (profitability and basic business acumen) plus a bit of behavioural
2nd round was in-person; networking dinner the night before, and then two back to back interviews (an hour long case and a 30 min behavioural)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
For the case it was breakeven calculations and basic business questions (e.g. what are the risks and mitigations associated with this venture...)
