I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Jan 2012
Interview
Recruiter #1 contacted me via Linkedin.
Recruiter #2 followed up with a couple phone calls
Invited to attend 'power day' of interviews
Power day consisted of 2 'case studies' and 2 behavioral interviews.
Then a case study after lunch. If you are not invited back after lunch you will not be getting an offer.
Behavioral interviews are the basic 'tell me when....' type questions.
The cases are not your normal business school cases. You are given some metrics as assumptions then breakdown the algebra. A high-school student could do these. There is little analytic thought required. The majority I heard of were all break-even related.
Started with an OA, and then proceeded to data challenge, and afterwards it was Power Day which had 4 rounds of interview. 2 of them were more problem-solving, and one of them was walking through the data challenge
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
In one of the rounds I was a given a question related to debit/credit card
Powerday 4 rounds back to back. One data challenge presentation , two cases and one behavior round. Overall easy and it was a nice experience. Interviewers responded the follow up questions detailedly.
