I applied online. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Nov 2020
Interview
I submitted an application through the website, and was asked to complete a phone screen a few weeks later. I was then offered a final interview, which consists of a behavioral, job fit, and case interview. These were completed virtually through Zoom.
The only reason I am rating my overall experience as negative is because they gave me the wrong case. The case for CODA should not involve coding in any capacity - it's just simple algebra. However, the case I was initially given required that I fix code written in Java. I emailed my recruiter afterwards and she was nice enough to reschedule the appropriate case for me. This was done the day after my Power Day.
Without the mix-up, I would definitely consider the experience as positive, especially thanks to my caser who worked with me through both cases and my recruiter who was super helpful throughout the whole ordeal.

Question 1
Basic behavioral and job fit questions - you can find them all in other posts. The case interview involved investing in different vendors to improve the card transaction system to reduce customer support calls.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Capital One
Interview
The interview process consists of three parts, lasting four hours: 1 case, 1 job fit, and 1 behavioral. All three interviews last at most an hour each. For behavioral make sure you elaborate as much detail as possible because they will ask follow-up questions.
Pretty easy phone call video call then power day. Power day consists of 3 interviews through the day. Overall great experience. Didn’t have trouble at all. No offer yet. Waiting for email
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Oct 2023
Interview
three-part interview:
1. behavioral
2. job fit
3. case
most of the questions are on glassdoor, case was relatively easy
Not exactly sure what they were looking for because I did not get the offer. I fit the group they were targeting (non-tech background, wanting to transition into tech).
