J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Capital One en mars 2015
Entretien
the interviewer started by talking about the internship, the responsibilities and duties, and possible promotions.
then he started the techniques questions part. he asked about 5 big questions, all relevant to statistics. I would say at least mediate level of statistics. The easiest questions is to interpret a 95% confidence interval; while the hardest one is asking how to deal with a very large data, like what is your thought process and what techniques you might want to use. I did not get a feedback on my answers so i did not know whether my answer is correct or not.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
linear regression models, detect of collinearity, and how to check and correct them.
confidence interval.
a case with 1000 predictors and half million observation, how you gonna deal with it.
what is overfitting and how to detect over-fitting
30 mins phone interview and almost technical questions. I was invited to tell about the project I have done before and ask some questions regarding this project. Also, my programming language level was asked. There were also some standard technical questions like p-value, overfitting, cross-validation.

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.
