I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Jul 2021
Interview
Spoke with the recruiter who was pretty lackluster the entire way through. Had a pretty straight forward 30 minutes call with the hiring manager, and then four, 30-min virtual interviews with others. The recruiter had someone else schedule my interviews and they gave me the wrong day (thank goodness I followed up). Everything went well, (I thought), until I received an email from the recruiter (not a phone call), saying they've decided not to move forward with me. No feedback. Waste of time.
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.
