Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The case interview had question mainly to do with credit and business terms
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA) in Oct 2013
Interview
Round 1 - 45 minute case interview on campus. You're given a calculator in all of the cases so use it.
Round 2 - 1 behavioral, 2 cases, a buffet lunch, and 1 more case in the afternoon for the people who they are borderline about. Behavioral is only three questions and takes 15 minutes at the very most, so be prepared with lots of questions. Cases ranged from ones with multiple diagrams that you had to analyze to ones that the interviewer created off the top of his head. Don't eat too much from the buffet so you don't get a food coma - about half of the group of students at my superday interviewing for the BA position had a 4th case after lunch.
Extremely organized superday, everyone is polite and leaves you with a positive impression of the firm.

Question 1
Capital One is trying to introduce a new credit card. They give you information about two types, which one should you introduce? What if you had the option of devoting a % of your resources to each credit card, what's your optimal ratio between the two credit cards?
I applied online. I interviewed at Capital One (Sioux Falls, SD) in Jan 2012
Interview
Assessment, interview and offer. HR will forward link to site to prepare you for interview. Normally 3-4 behavioral questions, ie "tell me about a time......?" There also is role playing question were you'll be given 15 minutes to digest your role as a manager with a problem end employee. I spent over 3 hours being interviewed by three people.

Question 1
Role playing I found most difficult since you have no idea what the objective is. I think it's more of a measure of how you interact vs problem solve. I concentrated on the metrics and effect to the entire question. Must have worked on my third year.
