Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- Behaviorial was pretty standard stuff, just read their list of 10 questions and look up some more online. They really prefer the STAR method of answering questions.
- Case 1: related to Term Life Insurance. What would you charge a potential customer with a $8,000 payout and a 4% chance of death?
- Case 2: related to Credit Card product. What ways would you drive additional revenue amongst the different client segments
Applied online, got the email for phone interview in a week. During the phone interview, the recruiter asked about my experience and a few quantitative questions.Then asked some behavioral questions like what's your strength etc.

Question 1
Solving problems and calculate stuff was not easy over phone.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Toronto, ON) in Oct 2014
Interview
Initial communication was a little slow and it wasn't until I contacted them about having to make a decision soon before the process started. The recruiter and interview buddy were both very responsive and professional. There were no surprises and we were well informed about the online pre-screening, 1st, and 2nd round in-person interviews. They informed me about the decision soon after the final round interview, which I really appreciated.

Question 1
Being asked to plot a graph during the interview. It's been a long time since I've had to plot anything and I was unsure of the level of detail required, but the interviewer guided me along and helped me identify what he was looking for.
