I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Capital One
Interview
The interview process is intense. A phone interview, informational interview-style conversation with a hiring manager, mini case interview, and then 4 hour "Power Day" with back to back interviews.
My recruiter communicated with me consistently and took time to prep me for each stage. I wouldn't move forward in the process unless you're really serious--it's a big time commitment. I didn't get an offer, but felt like I held my own throughout the Power Day and it was overall enjoyable.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
-Tell me about the most driven team you've worked with
Business Analyst case - traditional case interview. Math involved is calculating profits, break even, etc.--not as scary as it seems. Prep by watching mock interviews and doing practice cases you find online.
The other interviews are designing a product out loud (make sure to work through a framework!), discussing the full lifecycle of a product you've worked on, and a conversation with a hiring manager about your work history and style.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Mar 2022
Interview
The interview was broken into several distinct stages -- first was standard HR screener call. Next was an informal half hour video meeting with the hiring manager. Following this, a pass/fail mini-case interview. The mini-case was extremely caser-led, so if you have basic case interview competency it should be fairly easy. Following the mini-case is "Power Day". This consists of 4 back-to-back hour long interviews: analyst case, product design case, product sense interview, and fit interview. While less than the mini-case, the case interviewers are still caser-led, so if you actively listen and let the caser direct you when needed, it should go fine. I highly recommend spending significant time preparing for the case interviews if you're not familiar with the format. You will not be successful "winging it"

Question 1
For this role many of the questions across the different interviews are designed to get a sense of how you navigate bringing stakeholders to your way of thinking, mitigate conflict, etc.
The interview was in three stages: the phone screen, the mini-case interview, and power day. Power day in of itself had 4 major interviews which included a product sense, product design, behavioral, and business case.
