I applied online. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Sep 2023
Interview
The interview itself was not hard. I think anyone who has done a case study before would be fine. Just take your time and think about it. Familiar with calculating fix cost, variable cost, and break-even. It was more than enough for my interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
About making a TV show. Simple math like if you had 300k, and making one show is 50k, how many shows you can make? And then extension from there.
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.
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.
