I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One in Nov 2021
Interview
Two weeks after applying I received an email from the recruiter about scheduling a phone screen. The phone screen was about 15 mins and I was asked why Capital One, why CODA, and how do I stay current with technology. My final interview took place one week after my phone screen. My final interview was on zoom and there were 3 parts: Job Fit, Behavioral Interview & Technical Case.
For the job fit, it was past CODA associates asking me questions like why CODA, what do I like about technology, why do I want to be a software engineer. It was a conversation and I was able to ask them questions about the program.
The behavioral interview was the pretty standard tell me about a time… I was also able to have a regular conversation with the interviewer about her role and ask her questions.
The technical case wasn’t that bad. It wasn’t like the analyst case interview though. A few concepts were explained to me and I had to ask questions to clear some things up and provide answers about what I think would be important to know. I then received a lot of questions from my interviewer that required me to do basic algebra. For this case I actually used substitution method to solve a problem, then I provided a recommendation. Brush up on your basic algebra skills. It will help a lot.
3 days after the interview I received an offer letter.
Overall the interview is not hard if you are prepared and really know your why. They look for passion for technology and creativity.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you taught yourself something
It was a day to spend on campus, it had alot of activities back on the day. Most important just focus on being confidant. There was also a scavneger hunt
The Power Day was extremely intense, lasting 4 hours, but it was a great experience. It depends on what order they give you, so I got the case interview first, then the job fit interview, and lastly the behavioral interview.
Three rounds, math portion wasn't bad I didnt do well on the last round of behavioral. The interviewers were very nice and understanding. The earlier you get your offer the earlier you can choose between the Arlington/Richmond office. Arlington office gets filled pretty quick
