I applied online. I interviewed at Capital One (Dallas, TX) in Aug 2024
Interview
I applied online and received an OA email. OA is medium difficulty, two easy and two mediums. I did not make it through this round because I was ill-prepared, but the questions were fair for the position.
Codesignal -> Powerday (3 interviews). Behavior, Technical, and Case Interviews. One hour break within a four hour time frame. Can't really prepare for Case Interview just make sure to keep talking and explain thought process throughout.

I applied online. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Oct 2025
Interview
First CodeSignal OA. Pretty standard 4 questions I answered 3 completely and got partial credit on the fourth. Then recruiter call where they ask you the standard questions about grad date, etc. Then "Power Day" where it's 3 60 minute interviews in a 4 hour window. These interviews are technical, behavioral, and business case.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA) in Sep 2025
Interview
The Powerday has 3 rounds: technical, behavioral, and a case study. Not specifically a LeetCode-type question for the technical, somewhere in between a LeetCode and system design, and it was pretty easy. Behavioral was pretty standard, with only 3 questions. The case study was also pretty easy if you knew basic coding and had basic business insights.
