I applied online. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Aug 2021
Interview
HR screen plus two rounds of formal interviews virtually with product managers and other business managers. Overall extremely long and drawn-out waste of time. Don't make candidates sit through 4 one hour long each interviews. I get that you want to understand the person before you hire them but it's quite ridiculous that this is the process.
If you want to understand someone, you can do that with 30 minute interviews. By the time you get to your fourth interview you'll be feeling like you don't even want the job anymore.
The recuiters I had were nice and good to work with but that doesn't change the process being poorly designed. Look at the reviews on glassdoor. People repeatedly say the same thing.

Walk me through a product you worked on..
Analyze a business case and recommend something..
Design a hypothetical product given a promt..
Interview process started with an online Assessmsent first, HR Screening , then mini case study. Case study involved data review, giving feedback on how results could be improved. You will get asked technical questions (how would you build a certain application so have UI and Design questions practiced.
Frist round included a virtual culture assessment. Online scenarios and options of what to chose so that they can see the types of decisions you make, not necessarily how you make these decisions.
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.
