I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Sept 2011
Interview
Was contacted via email from resume submission through university career website. Given phone interview and emailed a skills/quantitative test similar to the GMAT but a very shortened version. Passed the test and scheduled to interview at corporate headquarters. Interview consisted of three interviews, one behavioral and two case studies. Behavioral was pretty straight forward. Mostly, basic Q's that ask to tell about a time when you had to learn something new or led a team. The two case studies were about a ferry boat and call center.
Overall, it was the most thorough interview process that I have been involved with. Did not get an offer but I thought it was fair and forthcoming. Good luck to all interviewees!
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Ferry boat service from one end of a bay to another in Australia. How to make business more profitable?
The interview was based on 3 phases. First was screening on call then a video interview with mini case then a power day with 3 phases including product interview, case based and economics based.
First, Screening call: the HR simply walked you thru the interview process and schedule the next round of interview - mini-case. I haven't done the mini case yet. Mini case, just search online for potential cases and prepare for it.
Fairly straightforward. Recieved a mini case then the power day which consisted of a behavior interview, a case and a product sense interview. The Product Sense asked for me to choose any product and identify 10 potential users for it
