3 rounds. 1st round - recruiter. If they don't offer a call, set one up. This is helpful in understanding the layout of the next round. (30 mins) 2nd round - Mini case Study (1 hour) 3rd round - Power day. (4 interviews, 30 mins each). I've only done the second round so I'll walk through the setup here. There were 3 potential products I could have had the mini case study on: capital one shopping, capital one mobile app, capital one virtual card numbers. My product: capital one shopping The 1 hour was broken up into 15 min quarters. Product Sense Q1 - The way that capital one makes money is that when number of purchases goes up for affiliates, there are more conversion rates via referrals. Outside of this revenue model, what would you say is the main value add of this product? Q2 - What would you do to improve this product? Technical Q3 - We want to use the browser history of customers to send targeted ads to customers so we can build on that affiliate model. The customers can currently be banking with Capital One or outside of the umbrella. From a technical standpoint, what do you have to consider? Q4 - Suppose one of the links from the email is broken. How would you think about resolving this? Implementation Q5 - Interviewer shared screen of two email designs. What was done well here vs could be improved on? Data Q6 - Interviewer shared screen of data from template 1 week 1 and 2, vs template 2 week 1 and 2. Analyze the data.

Answers Q1 - Mention capital one's mission and how this ties in. Also talking about user journeys and and problems this product might solve. Q2 - Express checkout so you don't have to put in card details each time. Q3 - Think access to browser history could be a privacy issue. Might not have all emails if there are people outside of Capital One umbrella. Use database validation Q4 - Figure out if this is internal issue or external. Reroute the broken links to Capital One website. Q5 - Talk about branding. Improvement could be highlighting this availability to outside of capital one customers. Q6 - Talk about spend and success rate. Template 2 showed consistent results and a "sweet spot" for spend to click rate and open rate for emails.
Had a phone screen and mini case study interview. overall everything was pretty straight forward. they tell you what to expect and the recruiter even sends you the details about what to expect and what they will ask you during your interview

Tell me about a time where you had to take the lead on a project as an associate PM.
Almost a 3 month process. I wouldn't recommend continuing to Power Day unless you're ready for the time investment it will take to prepare. Also keep in mind they put a lot of weight towards the quant questions
