Ditto on all the interview advice.

Just wanted give you a heads up on Capital One though. In brief, you’d be looking at:

- Lots of restructuring (once every 6-12months)
- WLB is not as they claim
- Inexperienced middle management
- Stacked ranking
- Technology debt
- High turnover

So you might wanna think about if you want this job 🤷🏻‍♀️

That’s fair. Thanks for the viewpoint. I know all companies have their issues so i will take the into consideration if I can land an offer

Did you watch the YouTube video they sent you?

Also- Yale SOM consulting club’s mock interviews on YouTube helped me a lot. I passed the mini round but bombed the final case. Good luck!

I did watch it but was unsure how the “mini” case over the phone would be like. Seems difficult to drive a case over the phone like that based on one of their COF products

If you are already a consultant how can you be worried about a mini case interview? It’s just your job that you do every day?

Hey op just a quick question- I’m going through the interview process now and jsut finished talks with the hiring manager (second interview). How long did it take before they reached out regarding the case interview? I was told there would be one but it’s been a week and I’ve heard nothing

Ugh, just got rejected from a senior level big tech opportunity. 4 month hiring process, multiple rescheduled interview days and no-shows, 10+ interviews in the end, multiple take home assessments, and took 2 days off work for the final round of interviews. Very frustrating and feel like they wasted my time in the end. Just a shambolic interview process in which I felt like a placeholder till they found who they really wanted.
