Questions d'entretien chez Capital One

The recruiter contacted me and we initially had a good discussion about my qualifications and background. She set up an initial discussion with the hiring manager before scheduling me for their product power day. During the multiple interviews we went through product design, analyst/quantitative case and product skills. A couple of the interviewers were good and informative about company culture while others were flat and unapproachable. The process itself felt unnecessarily rigid, and it seems they are a highly matrix organization which can be limited to career growth. Remember, the candidate is interviewing you as well. Not surprisingly, even though the interviewers said I did well, I heard nothing from the recruiter. It is very rude and disrespectful to put candidates through these types of interviews and not provide them with basic feedback and opportunities to further clarify any misinterpretations. This is consistent with other reviews on the interview process. No thank you.

Went through 3 rounds of interviews, last one was with 4 different people and lasted a total of 4 1/2 hours. Long interview process, and can be challenging; however, the interviewers were supportive and patient.

Was reached out by a recruiter through LinkedIn who was enthusiastic and wanted to move fast. First interview was a case ("mini case", though there was nothing "mini" about it - it was a full 1 hour interview) that went OK. within 1 day, I got a green light to move to the "Power Day" , which was scheduled a week later. The Interview went fine, even though the case interviewer seemed distracted more than once (happens too much on Zoom). After the Power Day I had a correspondence of 3 (!) weeks with the same recruiter, who was now slower to respond, until finally I managed to squeeze from them that the role is no longer available. The feedback (which I also had to squeeze) was given to me 3 weeks late, making it almost irrelevant. Started the process thinking that finally there's an organization who knows how to treat candidates, but felt that they were looking to hear if I had competing offers. Overall, nice interviewers, but a strong red flag. Recommendations for candidates: - communicate ongoing processes, even if you don't have a solid offer yet - especially if they are from higher tier firms. - Though some act as if they are, these interviewers are not McKinsey, and the structure of the case might break really quickly - keep it in mind and control the pace as much as you can. - Answers should arrive fast. I was not assertive enough in demanding clarity and that might even be part of why I got a negative answer - so demand a followup no later than one week post power day.

Initial phone screen with recruiter went really well. Recruiter was very knowledgeable about the role. They required me to take a virtual job tryout that took about an hour out of my weekend. The next round was with the hiring manager. She clearly was distracted and/or in a bad mood which is why I don't understand why she didn't reschedule the interview. She didn't seem really interested in getting to know me as a candidate and asked me the same question 3 times even after I tried to engage her further. Not a good experience for a potential employee

The interview process consists of several case interviews (all primarily quantitative) with one behavioral-based interview. I was interviewing for a Business Analyst Manager role, and my interviewer was a Senior Business Analyst, which is one level below the Manager, and seemed to be an inappropriate choice. The interview was very straightforward. I was asked one question about my background (“tell me about your background”) and then the case interview commenced. The interview lasted one full hour, which was plenty of time. The case was straightforward, but there was a language barrier on the interviewer’s part and the questions were oddly stated. I think this caused me to misunderstand some of the interviewer’s questions. The problem was simple enough (solve for profit margin and then apply the margin to a new profit scenario to break even), but the interviewer kept interrupting to understand my thought process and the problem took on an additional level of complexity. My primary issue with the interview experience was that the interviewer expressed a lot of negativity and was somewhat condescending throughout the process, which added to the misunderstandings caused by the language barrier. Despite solving for the correct answer, I believe the many misunderstandings and negative interaction are what led the interviewer to decline my candidacy. At the end of the interview, I had a chance to ask questions. I asked the interviewer what makes her job enjoyable (“I like working 9-5, unlike consulting”) and what her future aspirations were (“I like trying new things, so I move from business unit to business unit”). She had been with CapOne for five years and had only moved once, with no promotions, so this answer seemed strange to me. I asked the interviewer at the end of the interview how much of her role was quantitative, to which she replied, “almost none.” I thought this was odd, given the quant focus of the interview. At the end of the day, I think the role wasn’t for me, given the lack of mobility and strategic focus.

An online Hackerank Test, you can finish in 2 weeks, then the recruiter get back to me the other day to schedule a talk about the next step: Data Challenge project, which you can have 10 days to finish. Then after 1-2 days, receive virtual onsite interview email.

Their interview process sucks & it’s all over the place. The whole process takes 2 weeks, you talk & interview with 3-4 different people virtually just to have your time wasted. Don’t have your hopes up with these people.

Three rounds of interviews plus one Superday with four people. All interviews were between 30-60 minutes long. The interviews were fairly straightforward, nothing too complex and no surprise technical questions or "gotcha" teasers.

I had the opportunity to interview for the Human Resources Internship Program after having attended the Human Resources Leadership Summit over the summer. After having already done a phone interview for the HR Leadership Summit, I completed a case study interview for the next step in the process. The interviewer was nice and very supportive.

Reached out by a hiring agent from Linkedin, scheduled a phone interview with one of their HR. Was asked about previous experince and a couple general questions, interview was short.
