InterviewI applied through an employee referral I interviewed at Capital One (Greensboro, NC) in Nov 2020
It was very very difficult for my first time interviewing ever. I had to be interviewed by recording. Something very new to me. I wish I had practice talking to myself beforehand. I ended up being denied but you live and you learn.

InterviewI applied through college or university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Capital One (United States) in Jan 2020
First-round was a phone call with 1 case that was pretty simple. Powerday was virtual with 2 cases and 1 product interview. Completely relies on if your interviewers like you or not, and you won't get any feedback if you are denied, just told to apply again next year.

Applied with a referral. Recruiter reached out to me for on-campus final round. Was 3 sets of interviews: case, behavioral, and technical. All pretty easy, but I under-performed on the technical so I didn't get an offer.

Application
InterviewI applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (New York, NY) in Nov 2018
4 hours worth of interviews. 1 hour being a case study that was much simpler than I thought it would be. Simple math and basic finance knowledge should suffice. The rest was behavioral/fit interviews where they were just trying to get to know you, your experience, how you work in teams and under pressure and examples of those. Standard interview questions along with some that are a bit more challenging.
Interview Questions
- What are some key things you would look for in a company when trying to decide whether or not to give them a loan?
- If I gave you the financial statements of a company that is wanting to do business with us, tell me what you would look for, what you would find from each financial statement.
