Interview
The first interview was an on-campus case-interview. Interviewer first asked me a little about myself and then got straight to the case. It was a very simple revenue-costs case about the raising the credit limit of certain credit cards. For final rounds, we were flown to the site where the following day, there was an interview powerday. 3 interviews - one case, one fit, one behavioral. The case was another simple math case interview. Behavioral was the standard "Tell me about a time when...". Fit was basically a chat with a recent hire.

Interview
Initially there was a screening test on site, fairly simple. The questions were based on the data provided about a company, it's income statements, revenues, expenditure forecasts. About half of us were shortlisted for the case interview.
Next round of interviews was a semi-case study. The business problem was to perform a comparative analysis of the various financial considerations involved in the purchase of diesel and petrol cars, break-even of costs etc, just basic calculations. The interview was very pleasant and an lively interactive discussion of the various cost factors involved.

Interview
This was the most rigorous screening process that I have been involved with. The investment that Capital One makes in their candidate selection is impressive. The campus was very nice. The employees that I met were all very friendly and seemed genuinely happy to be there. They have a nice cafe' onsite, as well as a workout facility.
