I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Ann Arbor, MI) in Oct 2017
Interview
Brief phone screening and then immediate final round interview on campus (University of Michigan). Case, behavioral, then technical interview. Definitely not an overly difficult interview (especially compared to fb, Microsoft, etc). Sh*t the bed on the case interview b/c hadn't practiced. As said before on this site: if you were talented enough to get this interview, you're talented enough to ace it.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Case: Given Data Center 1 and Data Center 2 (with different transaction costs and data covering), which would you recommend using?
Behavioral: "Describe a time you explained a technical thing to a non technical person."
"What project have you completed that took the most time, and you were most proud of in the end?"
Technical: 1) "Design a OO structure to handle users, bank accounts (users can have more than one), CC numbers, balances, withdrawals, etc."
2) "Given two stacks of "Transactions," return the first intersection."
Capital One's TDP (Technology Development Program) interview process involved a CodeSignal OA followed by a virtual Power Day. The Power Day was a ~4-hour marathon with three separate interviews and an hour break: a Technical (OOP, data structures, code modification), a Case Study (business scenario with code/logic), and a Behavioral (using the STAR method for teamwork/challenge questions).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to learn something new quickly.
Passed the OA, they sent email asking for more information then scheduled Power Day consisting of 3 interviews. One was purely behavioral, one was their case interview and one was a technical coding problem (not Leetcode)
I was contacted by a recruiter initially for an initial screening call where I was asked about my background and why I wanted to work for Capital One. After that, I was given a technical assessment on CodeSignal where I had to solve 4 questions in 90 minutes.
