I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Feb 2025
Interview
Applied online, had the 1st HR phone screening round, followed by a mini business case study. Interviewer was helpful and was okay with me using the excel to run numbers. Asked a couple of variations (easy to manage on excel), focus was on the results. Next was powerday with 2 business case studies and a product case study. I guess the interviewer was more focused on approach in this round and was also giving clues. Cases were not that hard but it required some practice to go through edge cases, like, I was asked about credit card profitability, which has a varied range of usage analytics and you have to add in your thoughts for each one as asked. Final was a standard behavioral. Overall, the interviewers were very welcoming and helpful. I learned about the questions on reddit and did a mock on Prepfully. Very helpful!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You're running a software service business and now you'd like to add a SaaS product which is bootstrapped and competion heavy. How long would it take to break even and make a profit? (with hypothetical scenarios and numbers)
3 rounds of interviews, technical round focused on domain of expertise. Then there was a case study round. Interviewer was interested in execution of clear thoughts on data along with written codes.
I was referred so first a game like assessment that tested basically middle school algebra skills. Then a business case power day with three different interviewers, two of them were analytical and one was product
R1 was VJT, which was fairly simple. R2 was a screening case study, and lastly a Powerday. Powerday was grueling and cases were math heavy (bank related as well). Would recommend the process.
