I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One in Oct 2023
Interview
1) 30 minutes call with recruiter 2) 1 hour mini product review case study with member of leadership team, 3) power day (5 interviews). All interviews were conducted over phone and zoom.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Product mini case review based on their CapOne Shopping app... 1. Before/after of a direct marketing email - what changed? what are your concerns? how would you improve? 2. Data analysis test - presented with a 4 sets of app usage and conversion metrics . Interpret the results, which test is best, what other metrics would you want to see? 3. You are working with a technology team who can't work on your stuff for 6 months. What would you do and say to convince them that your stuff is more important and should be worked on first? 4. Describe / list out the technical components of a direct mailing email campaign 5. What are the value adds of the Cap One shopping app? A couple gripes ... The shopping app was unrelated to my experience and the job I was applying for. .. When I was told that I did not pass the R1 interview I was disappointed (fine I'll get over it), but then shocked to learn that: 1) I would no longer eligible to pursue a second product manager position that I was simultaneously interviewing for ( I had a R1 interview that was scheduled but then cancelled) AND 2) I would no longer be eligible to apply to any more product manager positions at Capital One for the next 6 months (!!)
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
