I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Nov 2010
Interview
The interview initially consisted of a online IQ test.
The following day I got a invite to Mclean,Virginia for an interview.
The interview process consisted of 2 case interviews and 2 behavioral interviews
The people were nice and made me feel comfortable. There were two employees who were assigned to me during the lunch process. They answered my questions and gave me a tour of the company.
I screwed up one of the case interviews and was not expecting a call back and the next day the HR confirmed it.
Interview questions [5]
Question 1
There is a ferry which takes people across a lake. It takes 5 mins for a one-way trip and the turnaround time is 5 mins. Each passenger is charged 5$. How do you improve the business?
The second case interview was about credit card process. The process involves getting information about the applicant, performing a credit check and if he passes it, then approval is given for the credit card. Without
the absence of the credit checking process, 5 % of the people would applied would be denied the card. However, because of the credit check process, debt write-off is reduced by 10%. There is a definite cost associated with the credit check process (do not remember how much). Should the credit check process be scratched?
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA) in Feb 2009
Interview
For me, it was a 15 minute telephone interview and was offered the position the same day. Accepted position out of desperation at the heigh of the Great Recession after being out of work for 10 months. Previously worked as Business Systems Analyst.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Capital One in Feb 2011
Interview
30 minute case question about participating in subway's $5 footlong promotion. GIven all the necessary numbers. Easy numbers, worked well, simple math. Just ask a few clarifying questions, show you have a general business sense. Helped me when I made a math error and pointed me in the right direction without being overly critical. Did not say anything relative to job offer, timetable to hear back, or anything else, however was one of the early interviews during a two day interview period so that may have had something to do with it. Overall a good experience. Question period at the end .
