I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Capital One (Toronto, ON) in Aug 2023
Interview
I recently interviewed for the role of manager with Capital One in Toronto. After 3 rounds of interviews including a case study round, I never heard back from the hiring team. Inspite of sending follow up emails there was no response from the team. A very poor experience for candidates who invest time and resources to interview only to be left with no information on status.
Strung along as a backup candidate on 8 interviews for two similar Tech Management positions with different hiring managers over 2 months. Applied online > Phone Screen > Online Skills + Personality Test > Hiring Mgr > "Power Day” 4 consecutive 1 hour interviews : 2xJob Fit, 1xCase, 1xBehavioral, then Referred to different Hiring Manager, 2 more Job Fit interviews. all via Zoom/online except the first. Process was very disjointed exhausting to prepare for and complete, and full of red flags. Dealt with 10 people, most of whome were very personable despite an unfair process. First group of interviewers were not on the same page about the skills needed business vs. technical. One Senior level interviewer was totally unprepared and asked vague pointless questions. Four hour interview block with not even a minute break was brutal and disorienting. Recruiter changed halfway through the process supposedly due to a Re-Org. Initially very transparent and prompt, then long periods of silence and mixed messages. No feedback was given for decision beside “Hiring Manager wanted someone else”. Actually told me they kept me in the process in case someone else turned it down. Unbelievable. Felt like there was internal politicking and candidates in play and I was a seat filler.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
"What is your impact?"... So vague its too short for the 5 word minimum.
Long and never ending process. In my case it took 3 months. Interviews are scattered across multiple days and weeks. You talk to different people and some of them don't know what is the expectation from the can
