Difficult Interview Richmond, VA

I applied online and the process took 6 weeks - interviewed at Capital One in September
2011.

Interview Details Flight and hotel were paid for by Capital One. The interview process
contained of two analytical interviews and two behavioral interviews, each conducted by
different employees. Personally, I found the analytical interviews to be much easier than
the behavioral interviews, but most of my fellow interviewees didn't agree with me on
that. Everybody could get free coffee between interviews, which were followed by lunch in
the cafeteria (not really cheap, but good!)

Interview Question One of the questions from the second behavioral interviews: "Tell
us about a time (job-related) when you made an unpopular decision, and despite
everybody's doubts, your decision turned out to be the right one." View Answers (2)

Difficult Interview

I applied online and the process took a day - interviewed at Capital One.

Interview Details The interview can be broken in two categories... Case Interview and
Behavioral Interview.

Case interview primarily checks your ability to interpret the data for example if you will be
able to see if the company making profit for loss, percentage , graphical representation
of data. Simple maths but I would suggest you should revise the formula's for Profit/
Loss and Break Even Analysis,

Behavioral Interview - that's easy, you have to talk about instances that may have come
up in your career or you should be smart enough to make one and speak just like
Extempore.

Interview Question It really depends, for me it went straight forward so I was fine.
Answer Question

Negotiation Details Didn't Negotiate.

Difficult Interview

I applied through college or university and the process took 3 weeks - interviewed at
Capital One.

Interview Details Fair, but challenging questions on case interviews. Interviewers were
very friendly and helpful. 3 Rounds of interviews through OCR and a skills assessment.
Information sessions on campus. Practice interview session on campus. Very friendly
and professional people. Went through the process pretty quickly.

Interview Question Don't remember, but it had a fair amount of technical accounting
aspects in it which was surprising considering the role was data analyst. Answer

Average Interview Wilmington, DE

I applied through a recruiter - interviewed at Capital One in May 2013.

Interview Details Met a recruiter for the analyst program who referred me to this
position and another recruiter. Took a verbal and quantitative test and was invited to the
Wilmington, DE Powerday. Did 2 case interviews and 2 behavioral interviews. There was
an extreme language barrier with one of the interviewers who didn't even mention
portions of the case study which she expected me to factor in. It is a very weird interview
process in which you do not even necessarily meet people you will be working with or be
tested on relevant skills.

Interview Question Evaluate the value of a shipping business based on variable

costs. Answer Question
