I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Washington, DC) in Oct 2019
Interview
The interview consisted of two stages:
1. Online 30 Minute Video Call
2. Onsite with 3 Interviews: Product, Analytics, and Design
Overall this was one of the most poorly organized interview processes I have ever been in. After one 30 minute interview, Capital One already invites you for an onsite. Never have had an interview process that easy. Then about month later they actually have their onsite.
The PDP program at Capital One is brand new and I think CapitalOne has a lot to figure out. Having participated in a number of product-related on-sites, CapitalOne's interview felt like a bad bank interview. Prompts were delivered from conspicuous packets and candidates had to strictly follow those packets' prompts. If CapitalOne wants to be a tech company, they need to make their interviews tech interviews.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
'Redesign the experience at a DMV'. (was in extended packet)
It was ok, brush up on interview styles like consulting cases, be able to sovle a mckinsy case with ease, and you'll be ok. I messed up on some calculations (although I rectified myself) but wasnt able to land the offer
There was an online assessment followed by the first round which is a mini product case (from one of Capital One's products like Shopping, CC). They provided a lot of preparation material for the case.
You get emailed a case study with questions you must answer during your interview. In that case study you will be given 3-4 Cap1 products that the interviewer will ask you questions about. Focus on what the product is excelling at and the weaknesses and how you can improve the product.
