I applied online. I interviewed at Capital One (Chicago, IL) in Mar 2025
Interview
I applied online and the recruiter reached out to me. Recruiter call was more about the role, hiring process, expectations, learning more about myself, salary expectations, benefits etc. Recruiter asked to prepare 3 capital one products to prepare - capitalOne shopping, capital one mobile app, virtual card numbers. During mini case 1 hour interview, started with general introduction. Then, he asked me about the feature I would develop for capital one mobile app and how can i attract more customers to use that feature?

Gave sample output from beta testing - compare 3 diff prototypes and discussions.
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.
