Application

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (New York, NY) in Sept 2023

Interview

First round was with a recruiter. These were the questions I got. Tell me about yourself? Why are you interested in this role? What is your process in designing a product? Tell me about a time when you worked with others on a team. 2nd round was a mini case, no behavioral questions. It will be on either the Capital One Shopping browser extension, the Capital One Virtual Card Numbers widget or the Capital One Mobile App. If you pass this round then the next round is a super day (4 hours of interviews in one day with breaks in-between). After that is a behavioral interview with a senior person where they deep dive on your experiences.

Interview Questions
  • I got the Cap One Shopping Browser Exten Case. It's not like the traditional produce sense cases where you are improving a feature or product, they just go straight into questions. First question I was asked was, beyond the revenue stream what value does this product bring to Capital One? (Why would capital one build this product) As a PM for Capital One, you want to personalize offers via Capital One Shopping through targeted email offers. Identify which products you would send to customers to increase the number of purchases with a referral link. Then I was shown a draft email and asked how I would improve it. Then I was shown some metrics for before and after changing the personalized marketing emails and asked what my observations were. Those were all the questions. I didn't pass this round.

Any genuinely good way to answer the "biggest weakness" question without sounding like a cliche. Anyone have any good examples?

I interview with this place about a week and a half ago. I think it went well and in the interview she said the next step would be a writing example, so I did that. Sent it to them the day it was due and haven't heard back since. She did say any next steps would be after thanksgiving since everyone was busy and their calendars full last week. I followed up on Monday with an email, but haven't heard back. Maybe it's taking awhile or should I try again end of week? I would at least like feedback.

I was promised a decision made by mid last week. I followed up on Thursday last week and got a response the update is now followed up with the hiring manager and their director and expect hear back by middle of next week. What should I be expecting if it’s delayed on promised update timeline from the hiring manager interview?
