I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Vienna, VA) in Feb 2019
Interview
Standard process initially, recruiter reached out, quick phone screen. Call with hiring manager to feel our position, then flew me on-site to discuss. Capital one on-sites however are a unique experience. First, they have an all day 9-3 affair, multiple case study’s, job fit, and a “lunch.” But mine was particularly interesting as the first interviewer did not show up and no explanation was given. Additionally they give interviewees a calculator for math equations, which, in this day and age shows just how far behind Capital One truly is.
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.
