So I’m about to start my interview process for Capital One next week for a Senior Financial Analyst position. My recruiter going give me a prep call on Friday but I wanted any advice that recruiters don’t tell you during the interview process. Also I wanted to ask if Capital One a decent place to work at. I will be working at the one in McLean Virginia if that helps.

For unstructured, be prepared to walk through a project/deliverable you led. Talk about what you did and the impact you made. You’ll be asked what you learned and how you would improve.
Structured: any case prep video on YouTube, Be able to interpret data/charts, learn quick ways to calculate percent of percent.
Behavioral is behavioral
You can also ask your recruiter/HR person about it too. Good luck!

Crafting cases is very helpful in my prep, just do that, maybe one/two mock cases and you’re good. Goodluck OP
Final round structured case for me was assessing three different options for a new therapeutic... think it was like injectable, oral, and something else. Had to analyze data on consumer preferences, crunch some numbers around sizing the opportunities, extract insights from charts and tables, assessing the competitive landscape, etc. Then distilled my approach and recommendations into a rough powerpoint. Have your exec summary and then supporting slides just like a real deck. I barely even got anything on slides and just voiced over the vast majority of my findings. No Excel or anything. Just be mindful of time... I ate up way too much time trying to overanalyze all the data. They give you a ton of data on purpose, some of which is actually totally irrelevant. Good luck!
