I applied online. I interviewed at Capital One in Mar 2021
Interview
Resume Screen, then round 1 which is a very simple case I solved pretty quickly. Has to do with breakeven calculations and weighted averages.
Power Day Round is 3 hours and 3 rounds. 2 longer cases and 1 product case. Don't over estimate your chances, they admit 99% of applicants past the first round, which is so stupid imo. They are looking for perfection here. You mess up one thing and you're out the door.
Btw the recruiter will call you to let you know they rejected you on top of sending a rejection email so have fun with that one. Very disappointed in the process, don't string me along just to accept mostly returning interns with their 20k returning offer bonus. It's a waste of my time.
Will be letting friends know about this stupid process. GL to any other candidates.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You can't prepare for this quite frankly. Go over some standard behavioral questions, come up with a digital product you enjoy, and ten ways to improve something like a water bottle, alarm clock, chair, etc. Again, you can't prepare for this, I prepared for over a month and was till rejected.
3 rounds of interviews, technical round focused on domain of expertise. Then there was a case study round. Interviewer was interested in execution of clear thoughts on data along with written codes.
I was referred so first a game like assessment that tested basically middle school algebra skills. Then a business case power day with three different interviewers, two of them were analytical and one was product
R1 was VJT, which was fairly simple. R2 was a screening case study, and lastly a Powerday. Powerday was grueling and cases were math heavy (bank related as well). Would recommend the process.
