I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Apr 2018
Interview
I found the all-day process was a waste of my time. The people are Cap One made a huge deal about how lucky I was to get a face to face interview and then when I got there it was TWO remote phone interviews followed by three scenario style interviews that are designed to weed out undesirable candidates.
Interview process started with an online Assessmsent first, HR Screening , then mini case study. Case study involved data review, giving feedback on how results could be improved. You will get asked technical questions (how would you build a certain application so have UI and Design questions practiced.
Frist round included a virtual culture assessment. Online scenarios and options of what to chose so that they can see the types of decisions you make, not necessarily how you make these decisions.
The interview process was smooth overall. It started with a computer screening, followed by a 30-minute recruiter call focused on my experience and fit with Capital One. Then I had a one-hour “money case” discussing a Capital One product from different angles. I’ve now moved to the PowerDay round, which includes two product cases, one product skills round, and one product discovery round.
