I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA) in Aug 2010
Interview
Capital One flies everyone out to Richmond the day before the interview. On the day of your interview you go through 3 case interviews and a behavioral interview. You also have to take a short (easy) written math test. Having never done a case interview I was a bit intimidated but they work through them with you and point you in the right direction if you get stuck.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a difficult situation and how you handled it.
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.
