Brutal. Organized. But brutal. Appreciate the diligence but felt like it was a bit overkill for the role itself. Everyone was kind and obviously takes the process very seriously. Best of luck
Average interview
Application
The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Capital One in Jul 2011
Interview
I was contacted by HR to schedule a phone screen. At appointed time, HR never called. I managed to get back in touch with HR, who never even mentioned the forgotten screen. We rescheduled, and she called that time. After passing the screen, I did the usual Capital One tests, which I was passed.
I was then called in for three local in person interviews in DC. A few days before my interview, I was notified my interview location had been changed to Richmond, a two hour drive away. Since I was unemployed, I drove down without compensation. When I got down there, I was notified that one person had cancelled, and the other was still in DC, and I was to call up from a conference back into DC.
With that said, the people I spoke with were nice. They just didn't have their act together at all.
HR screen call. Then zoom with hiring manager. Then power day with four scheduled zoom interviews. Two of those were behavioral interviews (tell me about a time when you ...) and two were job fit (talk through resume and experience). Behavioral interviews were with folks in very different departments from where I was being hired for. Job fit interviews were with people who worked in related departments. Not a lot of time for me to ask questions about the job or culture (some in interview with hiring manager).
