Hi Guys, Does anyone samples of Capital One Case Study Interviews for Sr. Business Analyst positions

Question

Any case studies or links to similar material would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Anonymous,

Case questions will obviously depend on the interviewer and the group you are trying to join. When I looked st the credit card side for example, I was given credit card related questions.

In general, I'd prepare for fairly demanding math questions centered around break even analysis and resolution of 3 equations / 2 unknowns problems

Hope this helps -

Answer 2

Everyone thinks that Capital One is all about heavy quantitative cases. And while its true that they do highly value analytical skills, they tend to ask a lot of short, rapid fire questions focused on assessing your conceptual thinking. They are a very innovative company and value creative thinking. So, be prepared to be tested on conceptual and quantitative types of questions versus structuring questions.

Answer 3

Hi!

To add on top of previous comments, in a nutshell: use the overall cases for MBB.

Cheers,

Clara

Answer 4

COF will definitely give you a case featuring a lot of math. I suggest you review the break-even formulas specifically. Type of questions would be "how will a shift in credit card take rate impact the break-even of this marketing campaign"

You can have a look at the two following threads

It should be relevant for what you are looking for.

Hope it will help.
