I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Capital One in Nov 2020
Interview
Very straight forward, recruiter was helpful. Included a phone screening, then pretty much a big onsite day virtually. Behavioral, Role-Playing, and Technical Section. The technical section was not too clear on what they'd ask, and it was a little confusing to understand they were asking me about the specific tools I had used by describing a situation to me of where I'd use them.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you taught yourself a new concept
What was the hardest project you've done?
RP: walk through the analysis, given either a regression output or tree. Explain to non-technical business stakeholder who only has knopwledge of elementary statistics
Technical: How would you collaborate with junior data scientists if you were a manager? If you were leaving the company what kinds of things would you include in documentation, and how would you ensure the performance of your model as it is monitored?
I applied through university. I interviewed at Capital One (Plano, TX) in Apr 2026
Interview
Once you have passed technical assessment, you have to wait until you get matched with a team (took me 3 months) Then you get scheduled for hiring manager phone screening (30 minutes).
1) Recruiter Screen
2) Online Assessment.
3) Power day interview.
After clearing the assessment got an email from recruiter of team matching, but in the meanwhile rejected my application. Didn't gave proper reason.
before any hr or phone screening, they will send coding assignments. the coding was easy/med - 3 question with 1 one vectors/arrays, 2 id remeber, and 3rd basic regression with sklearn
