I applied online. I interviewed at Capital One (New York, NY) in Jul 2017
Interview
Liked everyone else described in the earlier post, this is a very rigorous interview process.
1. Coding Challenge - If you know the basic python programming, you should be fine.
2. Phone Screening - Fraud detection, modeling related questions.
3. Data Challenge - NYC taxi, predictive modeling, not very difficult.
4. Onsite - 2 case interview + 1 behavior + 1 presentation + 1 technical + 1 job fit.
I think I did a perfect job in all cases, behavior and presentation parts, and I could tell from interviewer's response that they are very happy with my answer. The technical guy seems a little angry when he walked in to the office, and did not have patient to listen the full story about my experience. I answered 9/10 questions he asked, and that 1 question that I did not answer was a weird question. When I met the the last guy for the job fit discussion, I realized that the opening is under a data engineer team and they required candidate have lots of experience in software developing. I just very honestly told him that I don't have experience of developing massive product ionize code but I come from EE background, so should be able to lean and ramp up quickly. (but honestly, I don't want to be a full time software developer)
They came back with a very unexpected results. They did not give me offer for this position, but offered me another more business focused job with the feedback that they think I am extremely strong in business.
Overall, good interview experience.

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Capital One (Dallas, TX) in Jan 2026
Interview
I had an interview with the hiring manager, and she started to ask about my CV and went through the details of each project, and also asked additional questions about each project, what would happen if we do this or that
The recruiter call me and after a 30 min meeting with HR they set me up for interview with the manager, but no one showed up and they never responded my email
Two technical rounds with case studies and coding + SQL. Coding was just LC easy level and SQL was a bit more challenging but being comfortable with all the key words should be good enough.
