High expectations of Capital One, very disappointing experience. I have heard great things about Capital One and how they pride themselves on having an great interview process and great customer service - my experience took 2 months.
Here are my interview steps:
- Initial online assessment: Received email from recruiter to take the assessment. Completed and sent to next step. (No response from recruiter after a week - I followed up to see if I was selected for the next step)
- Phone screen: Received a call from an HR rep for basic phone screen. Completed and sent to next step. (No response from the recruiter after a week- I followed up to see if I was selected for the next step)
- Phone interview #1: Received a call from one of the reporting managers to determine if I would be a job fit. Completed and sent to next step. (No response from the recruiter after two weeks - I followed up to get feedback and status)
- Phone interview #2: Received a call from the hiring director. Completed and next step would be on-site interview. (Again, I had to initiate the communication with the recruiter to find out if I was selected for the on-site interview)
Finally, I contacted the recruiter to find out if there was any feedback from the hiring manager. I was told that I was selected for the on-site interview and would be contacted with details. A week later, I was contacted by a coordinator to set up the on-site interview. The recruiter call me after 8pm to apologize for how long the coordinator took to contact me.
The on-site interview was 4 hours and with 4 different people - it consists of: 1 - behavioral, 1- case, 1- job fit, and 1-behavioral. I had interviewed with two of the people I would meet with over the phone (four weeks prior), . A week went by after the on-site interview, I sent thank you notes to all 4 people and emailed the recruiter a 'Thank You' email.
I received a COMPUTER-generated response that I was not selected for the two positions - sorry but that is bad customer service. After a two month initiating communication with this recruiter, the recruiter calling me after 8pm, and the numerous steps- the least the recruiter could have done was respond to my "Thank You" email with some feedback and that I wasn't selected. I am not disappointed that I wasn't selected. I am mostly disappointed in the long process it takes to determine someone is not a good fit.
