I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA) in Feb 2011
Interview
I got an interview at Capital One through my University's career center. I had a first found interview in late February 2011. The interview took place on campus and was relatively conversational in tone. The interview consisted of several behavioral questions and requests for additional details regarding sections of my resume. Following the interview I was contacted via email and was required to take an IQ test that had both a verbal and mathematical component; both relatively easy. I was offered a final round interview which I have not yet completed.
Interview process started with an online Assessmsent first, HR Screening , then mini case study. Case study involved data review, giving feedback on how results could be improved. You will get asked technical questions (how would you build a certain application so have UI and Design questions practiced.
Frist round included a virtual culture assessment. Online scenarios and options of what to chose so that they can see the types of decisions you make, not necessarily how you make these decisions.
The interview process was smooth overall. It started with a computer screening, followed by a 30-minute recruiter call focused on my experience and fit with Capital One. Then I had a one-hour “money case” discussing a Capital One product from different angles. I’ve now moved to the PowerDay round, which includes two product cases, one product skills round, and one product discovery round.
