I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA) in Feb 2016
Interview
Applied online. Got a call in two days from a recruiter to discuss basic question about my resume and scheduled an online behavioral and cognitive test. The pre-screen tests are easier than most practice exams on the Internet.
Invited to interview on-site. 2 behavioral, 2 case study interviews. They asked NOTHING about my resume, just situational questions with pre-worded follow up questions: make sure to have examples of situations where you handled conflict resolution. Case study is just like the practice materials they give you, easier than most sample material on the Internet, just don't bomb it. They're very helpful when you get stuck. The people are nice but (outside of the recruiter) they were all kind of robotic clones of each other. If you fit the calm demeanor, Type A personality you should be a good fit. All everyone talked about was the solid work-life balance and the opportunity to move roles.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Oct 2024
Interview
Applied through a recruiter. The recruiter was great and awesome to work with and helped speed the process up. Power Day was an awful experience. I had four rounds of interviews back to back, two behavioral and two case studies. All the interviewers did not put in any effort at all on getting to know me and my background, just went right into "tell me about a time when..." questions. A couple of my interviewers didn't even know which role I was interviewing for when I asked questions on what I'd be doing day-to-day when we had a bit of time left. Overall, it seems like very textbook interviews instead of trying to get to know the candidate and see if they are a good fit in the actual team they'd be in.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had to work in a tight deadline and how did you handle that on top of your other responsibilities?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Frisco, TX) in Sep 2024
Interview
Applied online, screening interview with HR, online personality assessment, interviewed with manager, and then a panel-session interview with the team over 2-3 hours.
Overall a very unpleasant experience. They tried scheduling me for interviews once during lunch hours and then again after 5pm on a Friday....??? The HR person would also call my cell phone out of nowhere several times without any heads up. There was also zero response for 3 weeks after I completed the online assessment.
