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?

Can you expand? This will be a phone case where a current PM will walk through one of their products

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

Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?
