I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Capital One (Bengaluru) in Oct 2011
Interview
The hiring process for Capital One is extremely selective and takes almost the entire day. In my case, the process lasted over 9 hours. This includes an IQ test, several case studies and an interview to gauge the candidates behavior. While the process was tiring, the interviewers were extremely polite and helpful which to a large extent helped me through it.
Case interview. The interviewer guided me to calculated answer a series of question. I could not fully understand the question so I asked him a lot of things and he answered me. The case was about lunching a new game which has free vision and pay vision in the market.
This is for a new grad program - a case study (math and stats heavy) plus some ordinary behavioral questions. Quite intellectually challenging if your case is complicated but quite interesting experience. also very nice interviewer overall (not so great at giving hints though)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
a case study (more like a consulting one but very reliant on math calculations)
It was very good. The person asked me questions and I responded back with answers. It was a pleasant experience. The questions were interesting. I have nothing more to say on the matter.
