      Analyst Interview

      Feb 18, 2010
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Richmond, VA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA) in Feb 2010

      Interview

      The position was a Summer Analyst Internship at Capital One. I was first notified of the position through my college's (Georgia Tech) career services department. I applied through career services and received my first contact from the recruiter within a week of sending in my application. The process consisted of three parts. First, I was asked to complete an online personality profile, this was pretty standard - like any other personality profile I had encountered at any job. Next, a few days later, I was asked to take a series of online competency tests. The tests consisted of a quantitative analysis (math) section and a verbal section. The verbal section seemed similar to any standardized reading comprehension test. The quantitative analysis section, however, was surprisingly difficult due to the time constraints. (NOTE: I'm an engineering major with a 4.0 math GPA) Although, I feel that with a little studying I may have scored better. Regardless, two days later I was notified of an available on campus interview. The interview was 45 minutes long and consisted of 5 minutes of chit-chat/ tell-your-story, a 30 minute quantitative case study and finally a 10 minute question and answer section. The beginning was a little awkward because the interviewer took up about 3 minutes of the allocated 5 minutes get to know you time, which didn't really leave me enough time to tell my story. However, this wasn't that big of a deal because this was obviously more of a "skills" measuring interview than a "fit" interview. The case study portion of the interview was relatively intense, and in retrospect, I wish I would have prepared better for it. The case we went through was how to optimize the profits of an ice cream shop and it involved using some basic algebra (specifically, interpreting the slope of a line and the formula for an equation of a line and using this to interpolate fluctuations in demand as a function of price). Interestingly enough, I think the toughest part was having to figure percentages and perform long division without a calculator - on the spot, in front of the interviewer! The interview ended with some less quantitative questions concerning how running an ice cream shop is analogous to banking. Overall, I feel the interview went alright, but I won't hold my breathe for a job offer.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Ice cream is sold for $5.00/gallon, it costs $1.00/ gallon, it has a demand of 100 units/month and a elasticity of demand of -4. Assuming the ice cream manufacturer discounts the price of ice cream 10%, what is the difference in profit (+ or -) over the period of one month.

      Interview

      Interviews at large tech and consulting firms typically follow a structured, multi-round process designed to assess both technical competence and cultural fit. Candidates can expect four or more interview rounds, which often include a mix of behavioral interviews, case studies, and sometimes technical or role-specific assessments depending on the position. Behavioral interviews focus on past experiences, decision-making, teamwork, and leadership, while case interviews evaluate problem-solving skills, analytical thinking, and the ability to communicate structured solutions under pressure. To prepare effectively, candidates should thoroughly review the sample questions and case examples provided on the company’s website, as these closely reflect the format, expectations, and evaluation criteria used during the actual interviews.

      Question 1

      How to beat me at poker I like playing poker, but I need to improve at shuffling cards. Here is my shuffling method : I take the card from the top to start a second pile. I take the next card from the top of the pile and put it under the second pile. I take the next card from the top of the pile and put it on top of the second pile. I repeat the last two steps until no card is in the first pile. Given the initial pile of cards, can you guess the order after my shuffling?
