Three rounds of interviews, two of them are case based to assess technical knowledge (first case is relatively easy, calculation needed), one is mainly behavioural questions with the team leader
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Capital One in Oct 2011
Interview
Applied online through school's career website. Came into 1 on 1 interview. Went through case involving Capital One business plans. Spent some time discussing personality and fit questions. Interviewer was helpful and attentive. Lasted about 45 minutes total. Thought it went well and the interviewer was friendly, but it didn't work out.
1st round was 45 mins. Simple case (profitability and basic business acumen) plus a bit of behavioural
2nd round was in-person; networking dinner the night before, and then two back to back interviews (an hour long case and a 30 min behavioural)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
For the case it was breakeven calculations and basic business questions (e.g. what are the risks and mitigations associated with this venture...)
Do case study questions. If you got an interview invitation, you will receive case studies examples, and they will ask similar questions during interview. After this, will have about 15 minutes behavioral questions. Why capital one? Introduce yourself...
