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.

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.

Interview
Pros: Interviewers were sharp and the Power Day format was polished. The case scenarios were interesting to work through.
Cons: They gave some expectations going in, but what they told you didn't actually matter. The things they said to focus on weren't really what got judged, so you never truly knew what the success bar was. The Ace the Case and product presentation prep felt surface-level and basically gave no concrete detail on how to actually succeed. And the decision came after the timeline they told me, with 0 feedback after a full day of interviews.
Advice to management: If you set expectations, make them line up with what you actually evaluate on. Make the prep specific instead of generic, honor the timelines you set, and give final-round people at least a line or two of feedback. The gap between what's said and what's scored is the throughline of the whole thing.
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.
