I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (New York, NY) in Mar 2025
Interview
Extremely time-intensive. I got my resume passed to the recruiter and had a pleasant conversation. Really enjoyed the initial product case study as well.
Powerday was absolutely brutal. Its a test of mental endurance more than anything. On top of studying, my biggest advice is to learn how to keep your composure throughout the conversation. I feel like theyre watching for how you react just as much as how you answer each case study.

Question 1
Describe one product that you've worked on in the past?
The interview process was smooth overall. It started with a computer screening, followed by a 30-minute recruiter call focused on my experience and fit with Capital One. Then I had a one-hour “money case” discussing a Capital One product from different angles. I’ve now moved to the PowerDay round, which includes two product cases, one product skills round, and one product discovery round.

Interview
Interview had 4 rounds: assessment, recruiter, hiring manager, and Power Day. The Power day was 4 30 min interview sessions with other managers. It was pretty straight forward, just prepare some STAR based experiences.
Interview process included a first round HR screen, a second round mini case study, and a power day final round followed by a team match. Recruiter was very helpful throughout the process
