Candidatei-me por meio de uma faculdade ou universidade. O processo levou mais de 1 semana. Fui entrevistado pela Capital One (Richmond, VA) em abr. de 2014
Entrevista
The interview process, in my situation, was broken down into two stages. The first round consisted of an over-the-phone, case study interview, which was fairly straightforward and pleasant. The second round consisted of 3 separate interviews conducted in Richmond Virginia. I was given a behavioral interview first and then 2 separate case interviews.
The behavioral portion was very straight forward and relatively short. You're asked three questions about situations in your life where you had to do "x" or deal with "y." After you share your experiences, the interviewer will ask you a series off follow up questions where you'll have to elaborate.
The two cases, again in my experience, differed dramatically in difficulty, and candidates are given different cases along with different interviewers. The first case was fairly straight forward though I made a major error at the end--mistakenly assumed that the cost was fixed when it was actually variable.
The second case was much more difficult and the interviewer, who was clearly an extremely intelligent individual, was not very accommodative. My theory is that if your first case is shaky, then they give you a more difficult follow up case as an opportunity to redeem yourself.
All in all, Capital One was very professional throughout the whole process. They provide you with the transportation, put you up in a very nice hotel and allow you to spend $100 of their money during the trip. They also give you a free, all you can eat lunch after the interview.

Pergunta 1
The first case was fairly straight forward:
(1) Asked to calculate bank profitability with a given interest rates on deposits, a fixed reserve ratio, an interest rate on loans and a fixed fee value.
(2) Tasked with assessing the viability of a marketing proposal where you're expected to introduce the idea of a market test.
(3) Values are given for the market test and you're asked to calculate the profitability of the bank if the marketing plan was implemented.
(4) Go-no/go decision at the end.
The second case was much more complex:
(1) Qualitatively analyze two different online application methods--their potential strengths and weaknesses.
(2) You're given values and asked to determine which method is more profitable.
(3) You're asked to determine if the relationship between the two methods and their respective profit rates are contingent on volume.'
(4) Different values are given to you in which case it becomes evident that the profitability of each method varies with volume.
(5) You're asked to explain the situation qualitatively--why profitability is changing with volume for the two methods.
(6) You're asked to quantitatively determine the volume at which there's a shift in profitability between the two measures.
(7) If you're unable to immediately set up the system of equations, the interviewer will ask you to draw out the relationships on a graph.
(8) You're asked to determine whether the relationships are linear or nonlinear. If you draw the relationships correctly, you're supposed to be able to determine how to set up the system of equations.
(9) Once you figure out the value for Q where the profitability of the two options shift, you're asked to determine a strategy over a specific period of time where you know, before the fact, what the volume will be.
1 online assessment followed by Power Day with 1 product and 2 cases. Power Day was quite tricky with concepts being combined and tested in different forms. Staying calm and taking in every word is crucial in keeping up with the casing.

I thought I did really well, but they emailed me back in a few hours, rejecting me. This was for the online test before the power day, and they didn't even give me a score.
