I applied through other source. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One in Jan 2016
Interview
They went through three rounds of interviews, each with different people. The system seemed very regimented, which should have been a clue. An interesting adjunct, which should also have been a clue is that most of the people who interviewed me had left by the time I got there.

Question 1
General carreer stuff, some very odd and specific technical questions unrelated to the work. Never explained why.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One
Interview
The interview process included a phone screening with a recruiter, an online assessment that took between 1-2 hrs and then a phone interview with the hiring manager.
My issue was not the interview process itself but the lack of communication and follow up by the recruiter after the final phone interview. I followed up twice by email to find out next steps and never heard back. Months later I received a canned email response saying I was no longer in consideration. I think at the very least a brief personal email from the recruiter much sooner is warranted.
I have not made it to the interview yet. The mathematical reasoning tests are ridiculous! If they expect the average person to figure out math ratios on exchange rates, percentage of increase of population. I seriously was lost on it. My job I was applying for does require some basic math understanding, but I do not need to figure out the kind of stuff they had on their test. If I don't move forward with an interview because I bombed this ridiculous assessment, then so be it. I'm not sure how many average people could pass these kinds of tests unless they were statistical analysts. Just a heads up that this is required. I'll try to provide an update to let anyone know if I moved forward in the interview process. It's actually really discouraging because I'm really smart in my particular area of lending, this assessment just does not apply to my world.

Question 1
Example - If you owned X company $10 million, and sold $X amount of shares in yen, how much would you owe to X company? So basically, you have to figure out the difference in exchange rates from dollars to Yen, then do the math on how much you would have left after you paid the loan off.
