Recruiter is wonderful. she set the table for what was to come. Walked me through in detail before each interview round and set me up for success to the best of her ability. The only problem here is that the actual folks interviewing you are just there to tick a box and move on, they don't want the best for you or the company. I'll give you an example: 1. Recruiter call = Perfect. Easy Peasy 2. The mini case = standard case study, ask questions on how you think, show some data interpret what you see, all good. 3. The power day - 4 hours of interviews - This is where capital one needs some help. You interview with other managers, leaders etc. but the problem here is that they could be from anywhere in the company, and no incentive to them other than a meeting that got thrown on their calendar and they get to burn an hour of their day. The first meeting was "ok" - standard data questions much like the mini case. but the second guy I spoke with just seems like he needs a day off, miserable, spoke so fast just to read off his script and get this thing over with. Created an atmosphere of negativity from the start - had no personality to even try to make this a pleasant experience.

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.
