I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Capital One in Jan 2020
Interview
The interview process was dragged out for almost four months after I was referred. The process included an HR Screen, Personality/Skills Test, HM Interview, and two case interviews.
They were very slow to respond, taking 2-3 weeks to set up the each step in the process and inconsistently cancelled things as well. I passed all interview rounds but after a couple of weeks of silence I was sent an automated email saying the position was frozen due to COVID.
I understand why they put in place a hiring freeze and I am fine with that. However, I don't understand why they dragged out the interview process for months nor do I understand why it took them so long to tell me the position was put on hold. If they had moved quicker this never would have been an issue in the first place.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Oct 2024
Interview
Applied through a recruiter. The recruiter was great and awesome to work with and helped speed the process up. Power Day was an awful experience. I had four rounds of interviews back to back, two behavioral and two case studies. All the interviewers did not put in any effort at all on getting to know me and my background, just went right into "tell me about a time when..." questions. A couple of my interviewers didn't even know which role I was interviewing for when I asked questions on what I'd be doing day-to-day when we had a bit of time left. Overall, it seems like very textbook interviews instead of trying to get to know the candidate and see if they are a good fit in the actual team they'd be in.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had to work in a tight deadline and how did you handle that on top of your other responsibilities?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Frisco, TX) in Sept 2024
Interview
Applied online, screening interview with HR, online personality assessment, interviewed with manager, and then a panel-session interview with the team over 2-3 hours.
Overall a very unpleasant experience. They tried scheduling me for interviews once during lunch hours and then again after 5pm on a Friday....??? The HR person would also call my cell phone out of nowhere several times without any heads up. There was also zero response for 3 weeks after I completed the online assessment.
