Interview
CapOne has a very structured recruiting process. HR initially contacts you for a quick phone screen followed by an online quant/verbal/behavioral assessment which is like a mini SAT and takes about 1.5hrs to complete. A practice test is provided which is a big help, especially if it's been some time since undergrad. You must score well on this in order to proceed. HR will notify you within a day if you pass the test, and if so, schedule a phone call with a hiring mgr or two. If that goes well, then CapOne will invite you for an onsite visit at their McLean HQ. The onsite visit is an all day affair and includes multiple job fit, behavioral and case interviews. Each behavioral interview includes 3 questions requiring you to provide a detailed explanation of a situation in which you had to work with difficult people, multi-task, respond to changes, persuade others, etc. The case interview is very similar in format to the sample provided in the online careers section. Not only is it important to answer the case correctly, but you must also walk the interviewer through your reasoning. They move quickly on a decision and will usually let you know within 2 days.
