It involved an online HireVue one-way interview and logical reasoning game/test, then I had a first round case interview. The final round was a superday "Power Day" consisting of three hour-long interviews, each with one senior analyst who had been through the ADP. Two of those interviews were cases (much harder than the first-round case) and one was a product case.

My interview experience with Capital One was streamlined and challenging. After submitting my online application, I received a Zoom interview invitation for a 1-hour case interview. The email detailed the interview logistics and provided guidance on preparing for the case study, a segment that tests analytical and problem-solving skills in a business context. During the interview, the case was presented, and I was tasked with asking clarifying questions, analyzing data, and offering solutions. Communication was key; I explained my thought process and defended my recommendations during a follow-up Q&A.
Interview Questions
During the Capital One interview, the most challenging part was undoubtedly the quantitative section of the case interview. The interviewer posed complex problems that required a deep dive into numerical data and a solid grasp of financial principles. One unexpected question involved a multi-layered profitability scenario for a new credit card product. I was asked to analyze the potential revenue streams, factor in the risks, and calculate the break-even point.

A recruiter reached out to me regarding their diversity forum, which required a single round interview. After the interview, which consisted of behavioral and fit questions, I was invited to attend their diversity forum which occurred several months after the initial interview. After the forum, I was invited for a power day interview, which consisted of a case interview and a two behavioral interviews. A couple of days later, I received my offer. My advice would be to reach out to HR for potential opportunities, as I am not sure of their networking policy and influence it has in the recruitment process.
