I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One in Sep 2010
Interview
There is a first round 30 minute case interview which was very easy if you are an analytical type. If you pass, you are invited to take their personality test as well as verbal and math tests which are all pretty easy. Then, you are invited to super day final round. If you do well obviously, you will get an offer after that point.

Question 1
There was a 30 minute case interview which was very easy if you are an analytical type. The case goes, you are a franchise owner of a Subway shop. Your shop is offered to either join the 5 dollar foot long promotion or remain as usual. You are then asked to decide whether to join the promotion or decline.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One in Nov 2010
Interview
First I have a 1:1 interview, it takes half an hour, one case, goes well, I get positive feedback right away. A week later I get a link to their personality test; I take it and despite being told there was a math test as well, the site tells me I'm finished with the application. HR and the director who were both previously in contact with me me gave me no feedback as to what happened despite me reaching out for an explanation. Quite a mysterious company.

Question 1
The case involved whether a franchise should adopt a marketing promotion.
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Nov 2010
Interview
On site, there was a reception the night before. The employees were nice, but were obviously using the dinner for free food and a pregame and we ended up being there for over 3 hours. While this would have been fine in normal circumstances, I really wanted to get sleep and prep for the interview. Then the following day, I could barely understand my first interviewer and he gave me very little or incorrect feedback as I was going through the case. I feel that I was set up to perform poorly based the circumstances of the interview. Capital One should have more personable people who speak English clearly give the interviews because it does not reflect well on the company to have boring people who cannot communicate well and it is not fair to the interviewee.

Question 1
Case interviews that involve calculations....my interviewer kept asking if I was sure about my answer, which made me think I was wrong when in fact, I was right
