I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (London, England) in June 2016
Interview
One telephone and two face to face meetings within three weeks. Testing after phone screening (verbal and numerical). Communication was very strong with a quick response to my initial application and prompt feedback after each stage. The culture is really important and Capital One increasingly positioning themselves as a digital/tech business; this is reflected in the dress code which is very casual - no need to wear a suit to interview! Highly recommended company with a strong purpose-led culture around treating customers properly.

Interview
4 round process based of technical and behavioural expertise. The process is streamlined and candidates are shared prep documents to help them prepare for the interview rounds. This gives the visibility on what to expect in each round and the evaluation parameters.

Question 1
Difficult Situation and the way you influenced stakeholders
Very straight forward, one initial interview but the last round is a 4 part interview that asks some difficult questions. They were very friendly but some of the questions were just hard.
