I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Vienna, VA)
Interview
Three phone interviews followed by one full day onsite interview. Very engaging and well prepared panel. Had a design challenge followed by two business case interviews, one behavioral and three job fit interviews. The panel seemed quite informal and did not intimidate and made it seem like a discussion. Overall a great process
Did not get any feedback or email around not getting the job. Which is quite frustrating.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Jan 2014
Interview
The interview did not start until I took a series of 5 test via an online secure web-portal. Once you start the series of test you cannot stop and you have to ensure you have 2 hours to get thru all the exams. You have 10 days from the time you receive the e-mail to complete the exams. The first test is a work assessment exam asking about key words you would use for yourself, and your management style. The next exam is a test asking about shapes that are similar, belong or don't belong compared to the example you'll be given. The third test was simple math and to see how many you can answer in 15 minutes. You won't be able to complete them all. They want to see how many you can get right in the short amount of time given. The fourth test is word definitions. And finally the fifth test is reading a paragraph to challenge your reading comprehension. After you have passed all five exams will you receive an interview date and time. You can only take these series of exams once every 6 months.
During the actually interview for any managers role you'll be placed (face to face interviews only) in a private room with 2 pencils and 2 blank pieces of paper. You will go through three thirty minute interviews. The first interview is with a member from the team you could be working with. The second is with the hiring manager. The third interview is with a two member team. One person is asking you a series of thought provoking questions and the second person is the observer only.
The overall experience was long but good. Very thought provoking!

Question 1
Comparison - Would you recommend an outsourcing company to maintain the new data center or would you recommend the executives maintain the services in-house. Then they give you all the data and costs to compare. You'll then need to determine the best solution to recommend based on the mathematical outcome of comparing the data given.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA)
Interview
Interviews were case based. Situations that asked what would you do if... and why. It was very straight forward if you understand basic critical thinking and case skills. They prepare you with example cases and other tools so just follow the process and it will all work out.
