Me postulé a través de una recomendación de un empleado. El proceso tomó 2 meses. Acudí a una entrevista en Capital One (Toronto, ON) en jun 2014
Entrevista
The interview process started with verbal and numerical reasoning tests. After successfully passing them, I had a phone interview with a recruiter. My recruiter didn't ask me any technical/case questions on the phone. After passing the phone interview, I was invited to the first round interviews at their office where I had 1 behavioural and 1 case interview. My behavioural wasn't difficult at all or too much different from a usual interview of that type. It's just that the interviewer (another recruiter) asked me 2-3 follow-up questions every time I answered her questions to get a little bit more details which is fine if you are telling a true story. The recruiter was incredibly nice. The second part was a case interview with a manager. Again, he was very helpful, didn't put any pressure at all and was very collaborative encouraging a lot of questions. The case has little to do with consulting case interviews - Capital One doesn't seem to care much about HOW you present but more about WHAT you are saying and how you can solve the problem. I describe the case I had in a separate section. Overall, I really enjoyed the interviews; they are not scary at all. I was invited to the second round interviews but turned it down as I received an offer from another bank.

Pregunta 1
Case – Capital One in the US contemplates the idea of installing more ATMs (next questions come one at a time):
a. Discuss profit drivers for an ATM
b. Assess viability of putting an ATM in a branch that currently doesn't have one
You are then given some data
i. Revenue = $3/customers
ii. 20% are non-customers (have their cards emitted by some other bank, not Capital One)
iii. Cost of connecting to network = $0.1/transaction
iv. Renting an ATM = $5000
v. Question -> how many customers you need to use your ATM in order for it to break even; what is the total profit
You are now supposed to put it together in one equation and solve (I might have missed 1-2 variables)
c. What should be the proportion of customers to non-customers for am ATM to make the same profit as before, if installed in the public place? You are given a few other costs, such as cost of renting a space; some variables from the previous question still apply.
d. Draw a curve that shows the relationships between % of transactions made by non-customers (y-axis) and a total number of transactions made in one ATM (x-axis).
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.

The interviewer was friendly he asked me Quantitative questions on a streaming platform, too much math involved. I did not reach the answer though the interviewer tried to help so got the rejection.

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.
