The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA)
Interview
The recruiter contacted me and we initially had a good discussion about my qualifications and background. She set up an initial discussion with the hiring manager before scheduling me for their product power day. During the multiple interviews we went through product design, analyst/quantitative case and product skills. A couple of the interviewers were good and informative about company culture while others were flat and unapproachable. The process itself felt unnecessarily rigid, and it seems they are a highly matrix organization which can be limited to career growth. Remember, the candidate is interviewing you as well. Not surprisingly, even though the interviewers said I did well, I heard nothing from the recruiter. It is very rude and disrespectful to put candidates through these types of interviews and not provide them with basic feedback and opportunities to further clarify any misinterpretations. This is consistent with other reviews on the interview process. No thank you.

Interview
Recruiter, meeting with C-suite to get more details, case study, full day panel. I had some good rounds with people and thought there was positive feedback, but the recruiter ghosted me and it's going on two weeks since we last talked and I haven't heard anything after following up. What a poor way to treat candidates.

Interview
I Applied online and got a call from recruiter in a week. Recruiter was very prompt and transparent. He explained the process 1) Interview with hiring Manager 2) Mini case Product 3) Power Day
I cleared the hiring manager round and was promptly setup for mini case ( for me it was creditwise) Interviewer started off with typical questions. Questions listed here were in line with what was asked. I prepared very well and in fact I gave several interviews this month successfully and had two offers one i rejected and one on hand , out of all, i was more confident about this one as my preparation and execution was perfect( at least i thought so). At the end of the interview , she told me that "You did good" ( I didn't ask her). Next day I got a call from recruiter saying i did not clear the mini case. I was shocked nd asked if i can get feedback, Recruiter said they dont have any feedback in system and that only it says I failed.
