I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Capital One in Jan 2011
Interview
I attended first round interview for the Business Analyst position in Nottingham. It consisted of two case study interviews with managers from the company. The case studies were very analytical and numerical, focused more on problem solving skills rather than creativity, so in that sense they deferred quite substantially from case study interviews for consulting companies. Nothing too scary, just motivate your answers and when in doubt seek hints from interviewer.

Question 1
Had to suggest strategies to improve the performance of a company after a merger of two other businesses.
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.
