Capital One interview questions

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.

I was sent an email on Career builder that they were recruiting for people with high levels of quantitative skills. I sent my resume in, and was later contacted by a recruiter. He called me for a phone interview that literally took 5 minutes, then directed me to take the online assessments. The personality portion is easy. The quantitative is a bit more difficult, and involves analyzing charts and graphs. Only difficult because of the time constraints. The verbal portion is semi difficult because it intentionality tries to trick you. After that, was scheduled for a final round interview in Richmond. The interview day consisted of 2 behavioral and 2 case interviews. The behaviorals are easy, but the cases can be tricky, and are nothing like the case on the Capital one site. A lot of how well you do hinges on who your interviewer is. One of mine was very very standoffish. Anyways, if you don't ace the cases, you won't get hired. I was there with approximately 15 people, all from good school, and many with years and years of experience, and advanced degrees. Very few of us got offers. I personally think that their interview process is absurd to say the least. They spend almost no time interviewing you before you get flown in. Once you are there, your past experience does not matter, just your performance on cases, which would be easy if It weren't for the time and pressure constraints. Truly a worthless tool for identifying talent. I know that they are letting tons of talented people fall through the cracks, but I guess it works for them. I'm just mad I wasted a vacation day for such a silly process
