Interview
2 Rounds:
1 Online Test
2 Behavioural 1:1 Interviews
2 Case Study 1:1 Interviews
1 On-site test
Passed all except the second case study.
Case study 1 was about pizzas and Case Study 2 was about ferries. The first case study required some basic math skills and asked about possible promotions you would suggest. The second also involved math and asked for unique approaches to increase profit.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What ways could the ferry system compete against the other forms of transportation?

Interview
I applied through my college. Completed online math and verbal tests. Verbal was easy and for math I did not finish all of the questions but still made it to the next round. On-site interview. Everyone was very nice. Advice to candidates: Don't waste time memorizing case study frameworks. The case studies are all algebra. Go to bed very early the night before so you can think clearly. Hardest part is doing math quickly and accurately under the stress. ***Practice math that you haven't done since high school such as making two equations equal to each other and solving for a variable. Using x and (1-x), percentages etc. *** The case study questions I had have already been listed by other people so I'm not going to list them again. You need to make equations that you think will give you the answer and solve. If its a transportation question write out the times because you will miss one. Behavioral interview was easy. Three simple questions and the interviewer writes down your story. They ask things such as when did you have to convince a group of your opinion and ask many followup questions to your answer. Some people get asked to stay for a third case study after lunch which can mean many different things.

Interview
Received a call from an HR recruiter who pre-screened me. A senior recruiter emailed me almost immediately and sent me the job description and steps to follow to apply to the job requisition through the Capital One website. I applied online and he called a few days later to explain the position more in-depth and ask me a few questions, mainly about salary requirements and relocation. He then emailed me links to the online tests. I practiced using the links they provided for a few days to make sure that I would pass. The numerical reasoning section is simple but if you haven't practiced it can take time. I took the culture assessment, math, and verbal, in that order, a few days later. I emailed the senior recruiter and let him know that I had finished the exam. He responded right away that I had passed. I am waiting to get my final interview soon.
