I applied through university. I interviewed at Capital One
Interview
The interview included a (maximum) 30 minute length case interview. The case was fairly straightforward (not designed to trick you). Going into these, don't anticipate a case interview like what you see with typical consultancies, Cap One is much more focused on real world, manageable and relevant solutions. The interviewer was very helpful, knowledgeable, and easy to work with as I went through the case. Also very open to questions during the extra time at the end of the interview.
I am currently on the FINAL ROUND phase of Capital One.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You own a mini golf course:
1. What are examples of promotions you can use to increase business?
2. Then I was given a set of numbers regarding revenue, traffic, and costs and I was asked to determine the current profit per day, and then consider how that would change if more customers were added.
3. Asked about a potential promotional plan and how that plan will impact profitability.
4. Asked about a variant on that plan and how it will impact profitability.
5. Asked to make a managerial recommendation as to which plan is preferable.
1 online assessment followed by Power Day with 1 product and 2 cases. Power Day was quite tricky with concepts being combined and tested in different forms. Staying calm and taking in every word is crucial in keeping up with the casing.

The interviewer was friendly he asked me Quantitative questions on a streaming platform, too much math involved. I did not reach the answer though the interviewer tried to help so got the rejection.

I thought I did really well, but they emailed me back in a few hours, rejecting me. This was for the online test before the power day, and they didn't even give me a score.
