I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Capital One in Apr 2012
Interview
Power day interview. Good process. Decent hotel and everything.
Case study is like other people said. Very standard. Can find the materials online. simple number calculation.. -- and I count the wrong number.. :(
One of the interviewer is late.. and I think he might be not that into the interview.
Behavior interview is held by relatively junior people. No pressure on that.
statistics interview is the airplane thing that everyone talked about.. But I didn't know it will be the same case... and didnt dive into this specific problem.. kind of failed in that one..
I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA) in Aug 2008
Interview
I submitted resume in a academic conference and got phone interview and onsite interview afterwards. Six candidates were interviewed at the same time by 5 interviewers. The interview took whole day.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked for a the hardest situation in my previous work. I prepared for this question. However, as a new graduate, my research assistantship experience lacks the complexity they were expecting and that is why I can not support my points very well.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA)
Interview
Capital One has an extremely professional hiring process. In my case they set in advance the dates for every step in the hiring process. About one week later after the screening interview I received a notification requesting to fill out a profile in their website and pass a straightforward calculations test (read information from tables, calculate percentages, and so on...). Then I had an onsite interview in Richmond, VA. The bank pays for your roundtrip fare and one night at a hotel nearby.
The interview day consisted of four interviews, one hour each: two case interviews, one behavioral and one role-playing interview (I had to explain the results of an analysis to one statistician who pretended to only have a basic knowledge of regression). I also had lunch and was shown their Richmond campus. The offices are very nice, lots of open space and obviously a quiet place as most people is focused on their workstation. The interviewers, the HR manager and everybody else I met that day were very friendly.

Question 1
Case question about the credit card business. I was prepared, I did a lot of background reading on consumer lending, yet the question required me to think either as a delinquent customer or as a financial analyst for the bank. I'm neither one nor the other.
