Me postulé a través de una facultad o universidad. El proceso tomó 2 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Capital One (Plano, TX) en abr 2010
Entrevista
Start out taking a few online assesments both verbal and mathematical. They fly you in and put you up in a hotel the night before the interview which consisted of another math test, 2 case interviews, and one behavioral interview. The night before I went to a reception where we had the opportunity to talk to some present analysts about the job. The first case was a credit card comparison case on profits with different credit limits. The interviewer I had for the first case was pretty cold and when I did get the right answer, he challenged my math and made me second guess myself even though in the end he said I was right. I killed the behavioral interview. The second case which was more extensive and difficult but the interviewer was more clear on the case and I answered it very quickly with no problems. Pretty much if you can kill the cases, thats all that really matters. If you don't ace both of them though, its doubtful you will get hired. Seems like an awesome job if you do get the offer though.

Profit maximizing problem given three different credit card offers with different response rates, interest rates, default rates, product lifetimes, and average carrying balances.
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.
