I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Toronto, ON) in Nov 2013
Interview
I applied to the position through on-campus recruiting at my university. They invited me to take several online tests (verbal, math and personality tests) which took about 2 hours in total. Afterwards, they invited me to interview for the position on campus. It was a 30min case interview and a 30min behavioural interview. The people were super friendly. I remember making a mistake during the case interview, but realising it and fixing it. HR called the next day to tell me that I made it to the final rounds, which was accompanied by a dinner the night before. We got to see their campus, which is really nice for a banking/financial industry company. We got to talk to people who are in similar roles at the company during the dinner. Next day, the final founds were 2 60min cases and 1 60min behavioural interviews. HR called the following day to give me an offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Business cases are typically 30min long. I've never personally had any problems with doing cases, but these ones felt very intense because they were longer and involved more analytical skills. I barely finished the first case, with great difficulties. The interviewers were all very patient and nice.
Only gone through the initial HR interview process so far. Waiting to go through OA and power day. Applied mid June. Got an answer end of June/ early July. Seemed like just a screening of the resume so far. Nothing substantial yet.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Capital One (Dallas, TX) in Jan 2026
Interview
I had an interview with the hiring manager, and she started to ask about my CV and went through the details of each project, and also asked additional questions about each project, what would happen if we do this or that
The recruiter call me and after a 30 min meeting with HR they set me up for interview with the manager, but no one showed up and they never responded my email
