I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA) in Jun 2011
Interview
I'm an independent contractor working through one of the preferred staffing agencies. I emaled an agency recruiter, talked with him on the telephone, and had a phone interview 3 days later. The next day I was offered an 8 month contract. From there it took 3 weeks to get all the paperwork done, order a laptop for me, and get my security badge
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They did not do any business cases for my contract position.
Interview process started with an online Assessmsent first, HR Screening , then mini case study. Case study involved data review, giving feedback on how results could be improved. You will get asked technical questions (how would you build a certain application so have UI and Design questions practiced.
Frist round included a virtual culture assessment. Online scenarios and options of what to chose so that they can see the types of decisions you make, not necessarily how you make these decisions.
The interview process was smooth overall. It started with a computer screening, followed by a 30-minute recruiter call focused on my experience and fit with Capital One. Then I had a one-hour “money case” discussing a Capital One product from different angles. I’ve now moved to the PowerDay round, which includes two product cases, one product skills round, and one product discovery round.
