I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Feb 2025
Interview
Applied online, had the 1st HR phone screening round, followed by a mini business case study. Interviewer was helpful and was okay with me using the excel to run numbers. Asked a couple of variations (easy to manage on excel), focus was on the results. Next was powerday with 2 business case studies and a product case study. I guess the interviewer was more focused on approach in this round and was also giving clues. Cases were not that hard but it required some practice to go through edge cases, like, I was asked about credit card profitability, which has a varied range of usage analytics and you have to add in your thoughts for each one as asked. Final was a standard behavioral. Overall, the interviewers were very welcoming and helpful. I learned about the questions on reddit and did a mock on Prepfully. Very helpful!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
You're running a software service business and now you'd like to add a SaaS product which is bootstrapped and competion heavy. How long would it take to break even and make a profit? (with hypothetical scenarios and numbers)
1 online assessment followed by Power Day with 1 product and 2 cases. Power Day was quite tricky with concepts being combined and tested in different forms. Staying calm and taking in every word is crucial in keeping up with the casing.

The interviewer was friendly he asked me Quantitative questions on a streaming platform, too much math involved. I did not reach the answer though the interviewer tried to help so got the rejection.

I thought I did really well, but they emailed me back in a few hours, rejecting me. This was for the online test before the power day, and they didn't even give me a score.
