I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Plano, TX) in Jan 2015
Interview
The process was pretty involved with a number of steps, spanning about 4 weeks. The recruiter did a good job of preparing me for what to expect at each step. I like the fact that much of the process centered around things that assessed my aptitude for the job rather than just talking about myself in behavioral type interviews.
1) Phone screen
2) Online quiz (programming, stats, and probability)
3) Technical phone screen (60 minutes with two parts on programming/algorithms and stats/probability)
4) Two-part take-home project (build a predictive model given data and exploratory data analysis / insights generation / storytelling)
5) Final round of all-day onsite interviews (3 case, 2 behavioral, 1 job fit)
They gave good and useful feedback after #4. However, it was quite disappointing when I didn't receive the offer and they didn't provide any feedback on where I didn't cut it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Behavioral: Tell me about a time when you were involved in project / assignment that was heading in the wrong direction and how you turned it around.
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.
