Solicité el puesto a través de la recomendación de un empleado. El proceso duró 3 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Capital One (Richmond, VA) en jul 2014
Entrevista
Take an initial online assessment test - one verbal skills and one numerical reasoning. Then have a brief phone conversation with the recruiting manager, followed by the hiring manager a few days later. They will then set up onsite interviews within the next few weeks. Depending on the position, the number and types of interviews will vary. I will given 2 behavioral, 2 job fit, and 1 case interview.
The interviews were straight forward - the recruitter gives you numerous materials to prepare. However, outside of the provided questions from their booklets, they do not give the candidate as much time to talk about themselves and what they can bring. I found it to be very one sided and I did not have an opportunity to sell myself.
Overall, I did not feel I made connections with almost all of the interviewers and left feeling unsure about if I would even enjoy the position there.

Case interview dealt with economics based questions - which is used rarely to never in the accounting field.
Multiple interviews that do not test the skills of the individual. Then you have an assessment that is unusual, and misses the skill of the person. At the half point of the interview, it felt like a repeating song.

After application, I did online tests. I passed both of them pretty straightforward and had an initial call. Was invited to interview but declined because of the commute to Nottingham.
