Interviewed Jan 2012 in Irvine, CA (took a day)
Very nice facility with everything new. There is a distinct culture there that I believe you either love or you hate. There are tons of washed up accountants who want more work life balance. Their pay is pretty generous for how hard they work you from what I have heard. They want people to work in operations or accounting. If you want to get into some other type of position you have to network into it.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in Irvine, CA (took 2 weeks)
I received a call from an initial recruiter for a phone interview. After that i was brought in to meet with the recruiter for a 1-on-1 interview. It was an informal meeting in which the recruiter assess your interest in the position and asks you about your resume. After that I met with both the senior manager and manager. That interview was more formal as they ask you specific questions that require you to recall specific examples from your work history,school projects, classes, and so forth. It's not a very daunting process, though it may seem like it. I thought I did very well in all of my interviews, yet I was offered no job.

Interviewed Jul 2008 in Irvine, CA (took 3 days)
I found my experience to be different than most. Most people I found had very long drawn out interviews that seemed to take forever. I'm not sure of the value of such interviews, but I found many of the people at CG to be outstanding. That being said, after a few phone interviews, I had one all day interview and was offered the position.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Irvine, CA (took a day)
An external recruiter arranged a telephone interview the hr specialist recruiter. The HR specialist was pleasant and efficient. Most of the questions were in the situation, tactics, action result format, with a heavy emphasis on resume review. Although she asked technical questions, her follow-up conversation indicated that she was not technically proficient enough to understand. This made me think that she was listening for a list of key words, or timing my answers. The interview also lasted exactly 30 minutes: the scheduled time slot. My external recruiter told me that "project experience was not exactly what they were looking for" but she was "a cultural fit."
My take, a large company with this many recruiters and this few jobs to fill needs to spend a lot of time interviewing, without necessarily hiring. At least they only wasted my time on the phone, not driving also.

Interviewed Dec 2009 in Irvine, CA (took a day)
I only got to the initial telephone interview. The recruiter had specific questions for me. It's almost like a shopping list of questions. As soon as it was evident to her that I didn't have the required experience, the interview was over. She had asked me if I had questions for her. I asked them but it had no positive effect on advancing me to the next stage.
As I've been told previously, Cap Group is very selective in its process. Very few get hired.

Interviewed Nov 2008 in Irvine, CA (took 2 days)
The interview process is extremely thorough and thoughtful. The initial interview was a simple one on one interview, nothing unique. The second round of interviews included 4 different interviews with sets of at least two interviewers. Capital Group really takes time to make sure that you are a good fit for the organization. From what I have heard my 5 interviews was low for Capital Group.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
After receiving an offer I did ask if they had any flexibility with the salary. They said they would call back and upon returning my call they increased my offer by over 5%. However the company is really scaling back due to the current economic conditions and I don't think that they would have increased my offer if I had received it today.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview, an IQ/Intelligence Test and a Background Check.
