Acudí a una entrevista en Capital One (McLean, VA) en dic 2023
Entrevista
HR screening, mini case interview, and then a power day with 5 hour long interviews back to back. 2 behavioral interviews, 3 case interviews (2 business analyst and 1 sort of technology focused?). Everyone I spoke with was pleasant. I thought I did pretty decent in all but one of the business analyst style interviews where I was pretty tired at that point.
I would say it was a poor interview experience overall because this is a technology role, but the power day was hardly technology focused. Two of the cases were clearly catered towards consultants and MBA grads with very little emphasis on the technology aspect. The cases were centered around technology problems in theory, but the whole thing turned into a revenue, cost, and profit analysis. Not sure why there is such a huge emphasis on these business analyst type questions when there is a separate role for that. Coming from a technology company where I help solve complex technology problems, I really thought this missed the mark. There are better examples all over the internet of technology focused cases, and in my opinion none of these cases hit the mark. The hiring decision for this role shouldn't based off the ability to draw a profitability graph.

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.

Interview had 4 rounds: assessment, recruiter, hiring manager, and Power Day. The Power day was 4 30 min interview sessions with other managers. It was pretty straight forward, just prepare some STAR based experiences.
Interview process included a first round HR screen, a second round mini case study, and a power day final round followed by a team match. Recruiter was very helpful throughout the process
