Entrevista
The interview process for a Product position at Capital One is well documented. It consists of a recruiter call, phone screen "Mini-Case", and a "Power Day" consisting of 4 hours of interviews. Although there are certainly more difficult interview processes, C1 boasts a very involved and drawn out process. From booking my call with the recruiter to hearing a response took 26 days. I know exactly where I fell short during Power Day, but it still feels unfortunate that underperforming in one interview can nullify the successes of the 5 other hours of interviewing.

On Power Day, be prepared to deep dive a product you were involved in from conception to launch, answer two case studies, and take part in a fun design-focused product discovery case.

First had a recruiter screening, then had a mini case. mini case was fine, then had a power day. there was a interview involving profit margin, ratios and profit/loss. The interviewer was pretty mean throughout. Another interview was similar but less difficult. The product skills and discovery case were pretty easy if you do product management as a career, one is walking through the end to end development of a feature another is a supposedly "fun" way of going through a feature that could be developed for a topic. I didn't get an offer, the hard case I was not able to finish even though the other 3 went really well with good feedback.
