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.

Question 1
Describe one product that you've worked on in the past?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (New York, NY) in Jul 2025
Interview
The first round was a mini Product case. Power Day was two business cases with some product questions included, a product skill interview, and a product design interview. After that, there will be more conversations with hiring managers (expected some behavioral questions) to match with teams who had openings.

Question 1
How did you work with your engineers? Give me a specific example on engineer's pushback
I was contacted by HR and then screened. Basic alignment and salary questions. Then I took an assessment. Once I passed the assessment a meeting with the hiring director was scheduled. She spent a significant amount of time laying out the role - less time asking me questions. I waited to hear back and had been told it would take a week - over a month later I heard back. This was after a two week and one month check in. Next a Super day - which is several panels or individual interviews was scheduled. Option to spread over two days but I did it all none. The questions were behavioral but from different perspectives. I met with 5 individuals and each meeting was approximately 45 min. Altogether I spent a bit over 5 hours on the Super Day. This ws grueling. My voice was raspy at the end. I thought the interviews went very well. I had prepared by watching videos, reviewing the values and mission, and also prepping for behavior interviews - using the STAR method. Once again although I was told to expect feedback within a specific time frame I did not - just crickets - and was eventually contacted and told it would be another few weeks. Eventually I heard I was not going to be made an offer. This whole process took months and had long periods of no feedback even when an occasional check in to specific person was sent. Very disheartening.

Question 1
Behavioral, how did you handle, or what woudol you do ...type questions. Suggest you prep with STAR method and really review on-line how to align vision and values with the personal experience. I will add a friend of mine was interviewed and offered within a month. For some reason this took months in this department.
