Director of Sales and Business Development at BA Insight
in New York City, NY

What do you like about working at BA Insight?

"BA Insight was a small company that had a great team spirit and work ethic. I loved that fact that it was a small company and we were all fighting to make if successful."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"It is a nice company overall with some great people."

What don't you like about working at BA Insight?

"The company was trying to do too much at once and lacked focus. This led to incomplete documentation, poor product releases and lower customer satisfaction. The resulting lower revenue meant that the investors were not happy and there were several rounds of layoffs."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I would suggest taking a slower more methodical approach to growth. Make sure that what you are selling is as complete as possible including functionality, documentation, support and marketing. I understand the desire to become a hyper growth company growing at 70% + a year and sell for an 8x multiple but the growth needs to be organic, not forced."

"Bad company with no professional ethics."

Director of Sales and Business Development at Capital One

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Study. All components of the selection process are on capitalone.com including: behavioral interviews (BI), tests, case studies, etc. Practice these. Develop more than one answer for each BI question. Never use the same answer/example in BIs. Develop good understanding of the company background/history, products, services, and financials (value, revenue, ROI/A, etc.). Remember, COF considers itself to be a highly data-driven, technology-based organization over a financial services company. Make sure this is the environment for you. If it is, demonstrate your acumen in this capacity, as well as your analytical/conceptual thinking, problem-solving discipline, communicative abilities, collaborative style, and your ability to analyze data and information to draw appropriate conclusions and/or make recommendations."

What don't you like about working at Capital One?

"I didn't like the constant reductions in force at Capital One. There was little to no mobility within the company, ambiguous vision/strategy, poor corporate communications, and very low employee morale."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Gain a balance between the IBS approach and intuitive decision-making. Close the gap between senior leadership and associates."
