Completed my VI 2 weeks ago, they had case studies related to break even analysis and other business strategy qs. Honestly just brush up on case studies and you’re golden

Just got an email saying the position I applied to (graduate product manager) has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances and that they are no longer proceeding with the hiring process for any candidate. How annoying. I wonder what the ‘unforeseen circumstances’ are.

Sorry to hear that. This is really unpredictable situation. I received email last week saying that role that I applied for was filled in London and now only available in Nottingham. Today I received another email that they’re considering me for Nottingham location and they’ll confirm in a few days whether I’ve progressed or not. Your case is the first one I heard where unforeseen circumstances have been pointed out.

I believe it’s just for the product management role. It seems quite late in the process to suddenly cancel a graduate scheme and not really give a proper reason as to why. Capital one are known for laying off thousands of people at a time so I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised.

It was alright. I don’t think I did too well on it tbh as I messed up one question as well. If I got through you have a good chance too
Has anyone heard back after doing the VI? I did mine on 8th October for technology.
