I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One in Nov 2010
Interview
The first round was typical resume and behavioral questions with a fairly basic case question involving the credit card industry. It was mostly simple problem solving and nothing you should have problems with if you actually get an interview. The second round was at their headquarters and consisted of three 1:1 interviews, 2 of which were cases and 1 that was behavioral. All the cases had a financial theme and brushing up on how the credit card industry works should help out with developing creative solutions to problems. Be sure you are comfortable both formulating your answers and possible graphing them out. I really liked the culture of the company and everyone I met was happy to have joined Capital One.

Question 1
What is the breakeven point of a credit card based on expected revenues and costs.
1 online assessment followed by Power Day with 1 product and 2 cases. Power Day was quite tricky with concepts being combined and tested in different forms. Staying calm and taking in every word is crucial in keeping up with the casing.

The interviewer was friendly he asked me Quantitative questions on a streaming platform, too much math involved. I did not reach the answer though the interviewer tried to help so got the rejection.

I thought I did really well, but they emailed me back in a few hours, rejecting me. This was for the online test before the power day, and they didn't even give me a score.
