I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA) in May 2017
Interview
There were many rounds.
1. Telephonic casual interview by recruiter
2. Coding challenge (Basic SQL, and coding using any language)
3. Data Challenge ( given a data you have to do your analysis) - this took a long time and effort
4. Onsite interview- There were 4 interviews here
a. Behavioral - General Tell me a situation question
b. Case- Mobile App checq deposit case. You have to basically find break even. It was hard to understand what the interviewer was telling.
c. Data challenge interview- The interviewer will ask about the Data challenge. Be ready to answer any question
d. Case Interview- Credit card case. Where one group is divided into test other into control. You have to find the profit .
The hardest for me was case interview. Despite a lot of prep. I would suggest the biggest factor here is to comprehend what the interviewer is asking and putting it in a equation. Once you figure the equation you can easily crack the case as it is simple Math.
I believe there are not many openings here and the interview just keeps happening. I invested more than a month on this process and did not get a job. More than Data analysis they look at how well you understand the Banking domain which is not appropriate for I am from a Technical background.
Advise to all : do not put all your eggs in this process. This is a little shady considering that they value only a crappy case interview so heavily.
Started with an OA, and then proceeded to data challenge, and afterwards it was Power Day which had 4 rounds of interview. 2 of them were more problem-solving, and one of them was walking through the data challenge
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
In one of the rounds I was a given a question related to debit/credit card
I applied through university. I interviewed at Capital One (Plano, TX)
Interview
1) CodeSignal proctored test. Tests analytical prowess and SQL. Time is tight, with increasingly difficult questions. You have to pass to move on.
2) Data Challenge. Python coding challenge to answer 5 questions. You need to merge/ clean your dataset and make a recommendation. You present it during power day.
3) Powerday. 4 interviews back to back. 2 case interviews, 1 behavioral interview, 1 data challenge interview.
Powerday 4 rounds back to back. One data challenge presentation , two cases and one behavior round. Overall easy and it was a nice experience. Interviewers responded the follow up questions detailedly.
