I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One
Interview
Everything was very professional and the recruiter at my school was really helpful and communicative. Although they claim to be very laid-back, Capital One is a very corporate environment. The other people interviewing were very high-strung and they weren't necessarily passionate about Capital One but rather just consulting and company names. I made it past the initial interview at my school and was flown to Richmond. I was very impressed with the tour and all of the accommodations, but ultimately I think my lack of background in finance and economics was an obstacle
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
As a liberal arts major, I was thrown off guard by a case problem about loans. I didn't know a lot of the terminology and my interviewer seemed frustrated when I asked questions.
Applied through campus recruiting and was notified about getting an interview.
First round interview consisted of a single 30 minute case with questions afterwards if you finished earlier. The case consisted was relatively simple, but a lot different than normal cases. Lot of focus on math and break even calculations.
Notified I made it to second round which was a super day at their Richmond office. Second round consisted of 2 cases and 1 behavioral each given by different people. Behavioral was standard, and the cases were the same type of math focused one. First case was basic, but the second case was more difficult because it relied on deriving a number given a printed out spreadsheet of data. What made it harder to focus was that the interviewer for this case was constantly jotting down notes.
