I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Apr 2018
Interview
I found the all-day process was a waste of my time. The people are Cap One made a huge deal about how lucky I was to get a face to face interview and then when I got there it was TWO remote phone interviews followed by three scenario style interviews that are designed to weed out undesirable candidates.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Jan 2015
Interview
Screening interview with the recruiter responsible for filling the role, followed by online assessments, followed by a phone screening with the hiring manager. Finally by a series of behavioral interviews (four in four hours). I received the initial offer within 48 hours, resolved the offer negotiation within 24 hours of receiving the initial offer and set a start date for two weeks later.

Question 1
The online assessments were far more anxiety-inducing than the phone interviews or in-person 1:1 interviews
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Plano, TX) in Jan 2015
Interview
The application process contained a timed test. The in person interview had two people who sat at the table while they fired off questions. They made me sit there and draw my work as I thought it out. It seemed odd and felt like a college test. Then the last interview they said that even though data analytics isn’t anything I would be doing the CEO makes everyone take the data test. They said that you don’t technically need to make a certain score to pass but that it was looked at as a determining factor. I walked out of the interview at that point as I told them the interview was strange and I wasn’t a data analytics person.
Please keep in mind the interview occurred in 2015 so the process could have changed since then.

Question 1
Very situational questions. They provide multiple scenarios and you are expected to answer with data. It was also clear that they felt like there was only one answer for the question. They also require you take the data analytics test no matter the position you interview for
