I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Sep 2022
Interview
3 rounds of interviews, phone screen -> online self coding assessment -> live coding assessment with 2 other interviews within a 4 hour period. Coding problems weren’t too challenging but depends on your experience.

Describe a time when you worked as a team to achieve a common goal.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2022
Interview
Online coding analysis, followed by a power day where I had three further interviews (behavioral, technical, and what I would call a reasoning interview). Overall, process was smooth and a good experience for me coming out of grad school.

Interview
-Applied online -Heard back in a week to schedule a power-day for a month and a half later -power day had three sections: 1. Behavioral of three questions (like "what's a time you challenged the status quo", "name a time you had to learn something new to complete a project", "name a time you had to team up with other people to complete a project" 2- Technical case: basic math about software testing in a company and fitting into a budget 3- coding technical - given some data, parse it into data structures and then write a function to do certain operations on it...then refine it

Question 1
I basically wrote above what was asked...Tech case and behavioral are really simple and easy if you know basic math and have some level of personality. They don't want boring stories about your classes for behavioral. My interviewer pointed out how he loved my answers being about things unrelated to school or work and how they sounded like fun experiences. Have a conversation with your interviewers after you get through the case/coding/questions. Don't just throw pre-planned boring questions at them. Important!!! For the coding part, don't get discouraged if you don't know it immediately. I pigeonholed myself into something to complex and ate up 30 minutes out of the 50 minutes allotted for coding and had nothing to show for it...Then I started over, did something simpler and finished the whole 4-part long assignment with three minutes to spare. They appreciate the ability to make a mistake and correct yourself.
