The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Gaithersburg, MD)
Interview
I interviewed at CapitalOne a few times, didn’t receive an offer though. The questions were sneaky and they looked for very specific skillets. Some interviewers were nice, some were straight up rude. I’d like to know why I was rejected because their job description was very vague, I felt I fit the bill nicely - but hiring managers looked for particular skillsets that were not communicated in the job description. I remember one time, my interview lasted 30 mins, for 27 mins the hiring manager was bragging about his achievements, only 3 mins left for me. Total waste of my time.
Interview process started with an online Assessmsent first, HR Screening , then mini case study. Case study involved data review, giving feedback on how results could be improved. You will get asked technical questions (how would you build a certain application so have UI and Design questions practiced.
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.
