I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One in Aug 2021
Interview
This was a one hour mini case interview. A current PM from Capital One did the interview but was reading from a prompt. He seemed like the task was given to him just a few minutes ago and he really didn't want to be there. He took time to read during the interview, was sometimes confused and could not say anything to clarify or move the conversation in any direction. The questions seemed very canned and it was not clear what they were asking for. I thought I answered well but did not move forward.
After the interview I contacted recruiter about it but was ghosted. Up until that point the recruiter had been very helpful and wanted to move things along but did not respond to my email after the interview. A few weeks later I got the rejection email.
I have had many other very productive interviews talking about PM process, experience and company specific issues but this process did not work for me. It looked like something you would specifically need to prepare for to pass their way of thinking. I think the person interviewing did really badly but I did not get a chance to redo with someone else.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
My questions were about CreditWise, they asked about a specific feature they were working on for the design and ask for reviews. For technical they talked about technical challenges of adding driver's license recognition, which as an idea I told them was really not the right approach they should be taking in that scenario and why. This was especially weird to me because I am a user of credit wise, I know the app.
Stop requiring people to do a full day of case studies to MAYBE get offered a position. Also, having your recruiters say “don’t worry about getting the answers right” then say “we aren’t moving forward bc you didn’t get all the answers right” is deceitful.

Question 1
Solve this financial modeling issue that you just found out about 10 seconds ago
The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Ashburn, VA)
Interview
Horrible experience, I would advise not even applying. Total 7-8 interviews including 4 case studies (product and profitability cases). This company thinks they are a part of faang for some reason.
