The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA) in May 2011
Interview
I applied online, and was sent a couple timed tests to complete online. I passed those and was invited to the final round interview in Richmond.
The day consisted of two case study interviews, and one behavorial interview. I had a case on a ferry boat, and a case involving the credit card business. My advice would be to just relax (if possible) during the case studies. I unfortunately tried to study particular formulas the night before that I may need to do the cases. If I would have just used my normal math intuition, I believe I would have aced the interviews. Instead, I figured I would need to use complicated formulas, and I tried to do so, and they were wrong.
My advice for the case interviews is to make sure you know how to do a break-even, and be able to solve for different variables. Do not waste your time trying to study/use complicated business formulas like I did.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
ferry boat case-one of the questions asks how many ferry boat trips would there be between 7-9 AM if a ferry needs to be leaving the dock every 20 minutes, and has a 20 minute turn around time
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.
