I have an upcoming interview with Capital One for their Commercial Credit Analyst position. I am wondering if there is any advice on how to handle the interview and how many rounds of interviews everyone had? What types of question they may ask? I heard that there might be a case study. Can someone give some tips on what kind of case they will ask?
Thank you!
Do you know what team you will be working on? For a credit analyst, I would just get a basic background of what you will be doing by perhaps setting up an informational interview. You can do that by just reaching out on linkedin and seeing if someone has 10 mins to give you background on what the program entails.
In my opinion, you're focus should be on behavioral questions and demonstrating how you will be a hard working part of their team and are a quick learner. Don't come off desperate or overly eager but try to communicate you will be a great analyst who is extremely easy to work with.
In terms of the case study, just be able to set up a basic model demonstrating you are familiar with a P&L and how NOI will flow into you debt assumptions (term/rate/etc.). Ultimately you are going to be trying to show you understand whether or not a borrower will be able to service their debt (DSCR) and how much leverage they can responsibly take on. However, more than this is just to be able to justify and explain your thinking--even if you are wrong, if you can show you got to that point with some logic, you will do fine on the case study.
Thank you!
I think this position is for their commercial underwriting team. I heard that they may give the interviewee 3 financial statements and will ask some questions related to that. Based on your experiences, do you know what types of questions they may asked? This is more like a entry-level position. so I think they may ask questions like "walk me through the income statement"... however I am a bit worry if they would ask any calculation questions... There are a lot of formulas, I just won't be able to remember everything... :(((
Interviewed with Capital One way back for this exact position in their MF Finance team. I had no case study, but I’ve known people who worked there in other groups and received one. This was about 4-5 years ago and the case studies had nothing to do with RE and more with logical thinking and problem solving. Not sure if still the same.
Thank you.
I am wondering you remember the interview questions they asked? when you said logical thinking case study, what kind of questions they asked? I have no experience in commercial lending and I am so nervous now.
Thank you for your help.
I know guys at CapOne in CRE, they will most likely ask basic financial questions, nothing too detailed. Also dont come off rude or like a know it all. They have a little more relax culture than other banks, they want to see someone thats eager to learn and help rather than someone that goes in like they know everything.
Thank you for answering my questions.
Do you have any ideas of why types of basic financial questions they may asked?
would that be something like "walk me through the financial statements... what is CAP rate?" type of questions.. or it's more like "they give you the financial statement and ask you to analyze it, and ask you to do some calculation... and ask for your conclusion??
The position I applied is a entry-level position. I heard it that they
Thank you!
I had an associate interview in their LevFin team. 2 phone interviews, then in-person super day. All behavioral, including a STAR assessment. Basically, tell me about a situation where X,Y,Z, happened and how you handled it. Very easy. Upset with how the process was handled though. After taking time off work, they simply said were going in another direction, and ended up never hiring anyone, nor giving me reasoning...
