I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Capital One (Christiansted, VI) in Oct 2009
Interview
The interview was a case interview. Basically you had to figure out a math problem and explain to the interviewer the implications of what you found. It lasted about 45 minutes. Before you get to the interview you must take an online test with analytical skills. The problems would not be so tough with unlimited time but you must go quickly through the test to answer all of the questions.
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...)
Do case study questions. If you got an interview invitation, you will receive case studies examples, and they will ask similar questions during interview. After this, will have about 15 minutes behavioral questions. Why capital one? Introduce yourself...
