I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Plano, TX) in Jan 2015
Interview
The application process contained a timed test. The in person interview had two people who sat at the table while they fired off questions. They made me sit there and draw my work as I thought it out. It seemed odd and felt like a college test. Then the last interview they said that even though data analytics isn’t anything I would be doing the CEO makes everyone take the data test. They said that you don’t technically need to make a certain score to pass but that it was looked at as a determining factor. I walked out of the interview at that point as I told them the interview was strange and I wasn’t a data analytics person.
Please keep in mind the interview occurred in 2015 so the process could have changed since then.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Very situational questions. They provide multiple scenarios and you are expected to answer with data. It was also clear that they felt like there was only one answer for the question. They also require you take the data analytics test no matter the position you interview for
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.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Capital One
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
