I was contacted by HR and then screened. Basic alignment and salary questions. Then I took an assessment. Once I passed the assessment a meeting with the hiring director was scheduled. She spent a significant amount of time laying out the role - less time asking me questions. I waited to hear back and had been told it would take a week - over a month later I heard back. This was after a two week and one month check in. Next a Super day - which is several panels or individual interviews was scheduled. Option to spread over two days but I did it all none. The questions were behavioral but from different perspectives. I met with 5 individuals and each meeting was approximately 45 min. Altogether I spent a bit over 5 hours on the Super Day. This ws grueling. My voice was raspy at the end. I thought the interviews went very well. I had prepared by watching videos, reviewing the values and mission, and also prepping for behavior interviews - using the STAR method. Once again although I was told to expect feedback within a specific time frame I did not - just crickets - and was eventually contacted and told it would be another few weeks. Eventually I heard I was not going to be made an offer. This whole process took months and had long periods of no feedback even when an occasional check in to specific person was sent. Very disheartening.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Behavioral, how did you handle, or what woudol you do ...type questions. Suggest you prep with STAR method and really review on-line how to align vision and values with the personal experience. I will add a friend of mine was interviewed and offered within a month. For some reason this took months in this department.
Interview process started with an online Assessmsent first, HR Screening , then mini case study. Case study involved data review, giving feedback on how results could be improved. You will get asked technical questions (how would you build a certain application so have UI and Design questions practiced.
Frist round included a virtual culture assessment. Online scenarios and options of what to chose so that they can see the types of decisions you make, not necessarily how you make these decisions.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Capital One in Jun 2026
Interview
Pros: Interviewers were sharp and the Power Day format was polished. The case scenarios were interesting to work through.
Cons: They gave some expectations going in, but what they told you didn't actually matter. The things they said to focus on weren't really what got judged, so you never truly knew what the success bar was. The Ace the Case and product presentation prep felt surface-level and basically gave no concrete detail on how to actually succeed. And the decision came after the timeline they told me, with 0 feedback after a full day of interviews.
Advice to management: If you set expectations, make them line up with what you actually evaluate on. Make the prep specific instead of generic, honor the timelines you set, and give final-round people at least a line or two of feedback. The gap between what's said and what's scored is the throughline of the whole thing.
