      Manager - Talent and Performance Interview

      Dec 5, 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      McLean, VA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA)

      Interview

      The process is unbelievably unnecessarily long. It makes sense that you want to vet candidates for the right fit, but before you can be considered you have to take a long arduous personality test with a math section - apparently you need to take your SATs prior to obtaining a role that doesn't require math that you can't do with excel or a calculator. I had my first phone interview the week before memorial day - but didn't have the follow-up phone interview until July 3rd. Then the in-person interview was the last week in July . So 8 weeks between my initial phone screen and my in-person interview? My in-person interview was ALL DAY - 6 or 7 people, one at a time. Quite overkill in my opinion - and some of the people didn't even appear to be people you would be interacting with. Then at the end - after talking for 7 hours, I had to do an HR case study - and the amount of math involved (without anything other than a calculator) was not applicable to this role - no matter what they may think. The situation wasn't real-world. You will for sure have more than 45 minutes to determine the percentages you will use to spend a million dollars of the company's money in a real world situation. I think having a discussion of what your process would be is enough. Even people with horrible math skills (which I dont have - i know how to add and use excel) can navigate how to spend a million dollars when you have all the facts and an excel spreadsheet. But saving this until the end of a grueling day of interviewing was not ideal. And it says nothing about a person's stamina. This was just ridiculous overkill and not indicative of who will come out the best candidate. If I have learned anything from 15 years in HR is that going to these lengths to weed out undesirable candidates usually always backfires. Long story short - this should have just been a panel interview. and when I reached out to HR about some other questionable aspects of my interview experience, someone asked me a good time to speak, I responded, but he never replied. Which is a sad reflection on their HR department. But I guess they will learn when someone else similarly situated sues. I will say this - the campus is gorgeous, the people there seem genuinely happy to be there, and the interview floor and amenities were quite nice.
