I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Capital One in Feb 2010
Interview
Interviewd by Capital one for a lead developer , right to hire position . After initial exchange of email with staffing company , staffing company conducted their own screening, then forwarded resume to the capital one , capital one conducted a phone interview first , interview lasted for 2 hrs.Looks like the interviewer want to find some thing that i can't answer.
The position is for consultant in java , j2ee technolgy , so questions were asked started from basic OOPS to Advacned questions all kinds of , including some syntax and unix commands too:).
I never had such a horrible interview in my life .
Next one to one interview , four people grilled me to an extent , where i want to say ok thanks and leave.
I got selected , but declined the offer.
Hope this one helps to others.

Interview
The Interviewer seemed checked out from the start, and even though asked for questions at the end, did not answer them in a clear manner. He was also facing connection issues which affected my focus a lot. It felt as if he had already made his choice before hand and was doing a mere formality by taking my interview. For one of the questions, he did not even listen to my answer properly and made a remark about how we would have done it differently. I am still waiting for my result, but am choosing "Did not get an offer" here because I feel that might happen.
