I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA) in Jul 2015
Interview
Got an interview call through a recruiter. The 1st round of selection is a straight forward screening over the phone. After that you are called for an onsite round of interviews which typically include 2 behavioral interviews and 2 case studies. You might be called for a 5th round of interview after lunch.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Typical "Tell us about a time when..." STAR format questions. The case studies are mostly business scenarios with a bit of quantitative maneuvering. Be careful and focus on what they ask you to calculate as you might waste time if figuring out stuff which they are not interested in.
Also, won't hurt to go through a few examples of case studies that the recruiter will send you (I am sure you can find a lot online as well)
I applied online. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Jul 2026
Interview
Standard interview process CodeSignal, Take Home challenge, Powerday which consists of 4 rounds 1 data challenge round, 2 case interviews and Job Fit round. Interview was easy but I wonder on what evaluation they take on when interviewing. It's more like a discussion they say but I didn't feel that way.
