Solicité el puesto a través de la escuela superior o la universidad. El proceso duró 3 días. Acudí a una entrevista en Capital One (Richmond, VA) en may 2010
Entrevista
I applied online through my school's online job board. Got an e-mail inviting me to take a series of online test. There was a math and a verbal section. The math one has you do calculations using data from various charts. The verbal is similar to the SAT. Then I got a call about setting up the in person interview. I had to fly down to Virginia to the Capital One campus. I had one behavioral interview and 2 cases. The behavioral is your typical "tell me about a time" interview. The cases were essentially a long word problem that you do with someone feeding you the information. Go over your algebra and calculus before the interview.

Tell me about a time you used logic to solve a problem
It was very good. The person asked me questions and I responded back with answers. It was a pleasant experience. The questions were interesting. I have nothing more to say on the matter.
Interviews at large tech and consulting firms typically follow a structured, multi-round process designed to assess both technical competence and cultural fit. Candidates can expect four or more interview rounds, which often include a mix of behavioral interviews, case studies, and sometimes technical or role-specific assessments depending on the position. Behavioral interviews focus on past experiences, decision-making, teamwork, and leadership, while case interviews evaluate problem-solving skills, analytical thinking, and the ability to communicate structured solutions under pressure. To prepare effectively, candidates should thoroughly review the sample questions and case examples provided on the company’s website, as these closely reflect the format, expectations, and evaluation criteria used during the actual interviews.

How to beat me at poker
I like playing poker, but I need to improve at shuffling cards.
Here is my shuffling method :
I take the card from the top to start a second pile.
I take the next card from the top of the pile and put it under the second pile.
I take the next card from the top of the pile and put it on top of the second pile.
I repeat the last two steps until no card is in the first pile.
Given the initial pile of cards, can you guess the order after my shuffling?
4 rounds of interviews. First there are screening questions, then a test assessment, then a mini interview, followed by a power day of 3 back to back interviews. Process can be long and take a while to complete so be ready.
