Entrevista
Capital One has a very streamlined process for the Product Management Interview loop. It is one of those interviews where you need to be very well prepared and its not one of those interviews that you wing. After the initial recruiter screen, a one hour Mini case is set up, where we go through the entire product lifecycle for a capital one application(Capital One Shopping, Auto Navigator, Mobile App). This is a Pass/Fail. The recruiter got back the same day and sets up Power Day.
-Product Skills
talk about your 0-1 product and answer behavioral questions related to that. Follow Capital One's HBTIL framework
-Product Discovery
DMV improvement case
-2 x Product Cases
These are MBB style consulting case interviews but more quant heavy- can use a calculator. They share a Power Playbook that goes over the math you'd need(profitability, break even, weighted average) and there are samples cases in their Youtube. I used Chatgpt to ask me questions interview style and make it increasingly harder. Practice talking your problem out loud while giving recommendations- that really helps! Most of the candidates trip up at one of these cases. This was majority of my preparation for Power Day. Case In Point and Cracking the PM interview were good tools to go about an all round prep. Lewis Lin's slack channel is a great place to find other PM aspirants and mock interview with!

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.

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.
