I applied online. I interviewed at Capital One (New York, NY) in Feb 2020
Interview
I met with a recruiter and then I met with some random manager who asked me questions about a business case. It wasn't that difficult per say, but you have to be a calculations on the fly. Personally, I think these questions are kind of useless because the job involves writing SQL statements and creating data visualizations. Should you create job questions based on what you are going to do at the job? They give you a video to watch to prepare before hand.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Capital One
Interview
It was a long process. Started when a recruiter reached out through LinkedIn. We had a one-hour call and a time was given to do a case study with a current associate who would walk you through the problem. Once through that you would proceed to a super day at the office

I applied online. I interviewed at Capital One in Mar 2021
Interview
Applied online. First a phone screen with HR where she scheduled my first round case interview. The first round case interview was over Zoom and the interviewer walked into the case interview with very little introductions and no behavioral questions at all. She read through the details of the case pretty quickly and as I was giving my answers, gave no feedback as to if my answers were satisfactory. I thought I got to the right answer at the end but no invite to the next round so I guess not. She ended the call abruptly so I left it with a bad feeling. Overall a negative experience.

Question 1
Ok now assume that the day is split into surge and non-surge demand hours. Non-surge demand lasts 4 hours and has 800 rides. Surge demand lasts another 4 hours and has 1,600 rides. Assume you can only hire drivers for the full day. How much would you need to charge during surge hours to breakeven on your profit from the first question?
