Initial phone call with recruiter followed by online assessment and then phone interview with hiring manager. Next step was "power day" of interviews on site. I am currently employed in another city, and the recruiter was difficult to work with to schedule the appointment. She told me it would likely be one of two dates and to save the dates but I never heard from her. Then it was supposed to be the following week but again... nothing. All the while, I was trying to keep my schedule free at my current job, which was not easy. She finally called me and apologized for the delays and said they wanted to bring me in less than 48 hours later, which I could not do due to the logistics of getting to their office as well as my existing work obligations. (she did not offer to help with travel arrangements) Apparently they wanted to bring all candidates in on the same day. While everyone I spoke with was friendly, I wish they could've been more flexible with scheduling the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
not a specific question but: short notice for interviews
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Capital One (Washington, DC) in June 2026
Interview
I had a recruiter screen followed by a hiring manager interview. After the hiring manager interview, they made me take a ridiculous personality test, and the recruiter said I had failed with no explanation or insight into what they were screening for and why I specifically failed.
Overall this was a pretty bad process with limited insight or accountability from HR.
One of the more “intense” interview processes, which tells me the company cares about collaboration and fit. There was an HR screening, three 30-minute Job Fit interviews, and 60-minute behavioural.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Capital One (Toronto, ON)
Interview
Long interview/screening process- starting from screening HR interview, virtual job tryout where you answer a series of questions, then a case interview where you answer questions for a business case, then hiring manager interview, followed by two more behavioural interviews.
