Entrevista
The process took 3 months. I had two on-site interviews. The firs on-site was 1 hour: 30 minutes behavioural and 30 minutes a simple case studies about "building a new highway to control the traffic". The second on-site interview consisted of four parts: first one was a purely statistics discussion. The head os statistician gave me a case (flight problem) and asked me to analyze the graph, linear regression etc in about 15 minutes. Then we discussed my solution for 45 minutes. The second and third round was business case studies. Usual business case studies that you can find in any books. It was more towards credit card industry. The last round was behavioural interview.
Once I was done, the head of statistics department asked me to stay longer. We chatted about experiment design, etc for about 20 minutes and another 10 minutes brain teaser questions. I was all happy after the interview and thought I would be offered the position. Three days after the interview, I got a call from the recruiter. She told me that I failed the behavioural interview and so they cannot move forward with me. I found Capital One staff very arrogant except two people: the head os statistics department and another interviewer.

Hiring through campus website. Got the first round interview 4 days after application. After the interview, wait 2-3 days to know the whether can be selected for the 2nd round interview. The second round interview is back-to-back interview without cases. A short case interview for about 20 minutes for the first round. Very similar to the one posted online as the example.

First round was phone interview, totally 5 questions, 4 of them were related to basic stat concepts but given in real world background. Got notice about the final round about three hours later. On-site was much harder than the first, more business focused rather than statistics.
