I applied online and was contacted by a hiring manager a couple weeks later. We set up a phone interview for that same day. I was asked about my past experiences and availability and after explaining more about the job description, I was asked questions like what interested you in the finance industry, name a time when you had to deal with a difficult customer, why do you think you are perfect for this job, what do you know about Capital One, etc.

Question 1
Standard interview questions, nothing too difficult if you do your homework before-hand
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA)
Interview
First, there was an interview on campus, which featured a lot of math and story problems. But make sure to show your personality (which I did) while doing them. And be sure to talk out exactly what you're doing and your thought process.
Then I had an in person interview, which consisted of one math-oriented test, a personality test, and a 'fit' test. The guy who gave the math test was difficult and completely not helpful. The other interviewers were much better.
First round was the phone interview about four or five questions on missing values and Multicollinearity. Not hard but only some basic statistical concepts. Second round was onsite in Plano, TX. The interviews are about 1 airport data analysis, 2 case studies and 1 behavior. Even though they are looking for statisticians, the case studies have nothing to do with any statistics.
