I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Dec 2014
Interview
A first round case interview on campus followed by an on-site "power day". This included two case interviews and a behavioral interview. We then went to lunch with current Business Analysts and some people were asked back for an interview with a manager.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Behavioral: Give an example of how you used teamwork to achieve a goal.
Case: They were all unique and different. Usually you had to diagnose a specific problem, specify a recommendation and quantify the results (basic algebra calculations usually).
3 rounds of interviews, technical round focused on domain of expertise. Then there was a case study round. Interviewer was interested in execution of clear thoughts on data along with written codes.
I was referred so first a game like assessment that tested basically middle school algebra skills. Then a business case power day with three different interviewers, two of them were analytical and one was product
R1 was VJT, which was fairly simple. R2 was a screening case study, and lastly a Powerday. Powerday was grueling and cases were math heavy (bank related as well). Would recommend the process.
