I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Capital One (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2023
Interview
Cap1's interview process is disrespectful of candidates. It's a backloaded gauntlet of six interviews (mini case & five-round power day) with literally zero feedback upon rejection. Mini case is disproportionately easy relative to power day. Power day (five hour-long interviews in a single day) is comprised of five sequential and diversified looks (mix of creative, behavioral, technical, case-style, etc.), so you have no idea where you went awry if rejected.
I get that Cap1 has a high standard of excellence and can afford to be extremely picky in the current labor market, but asking candidates to go through a months-long recruitment cycle and then leaving them completely in the dark is simply wrong.
Cap1, if you're reading this, stop hiding behind the "guidelines from your risk management team" and provide candidates with the feedback they need to improve. It's the least you can do.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Creative design thinking case from power day was to redesign the DMV.
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
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
