I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One in Dec 2021
Interview
I received a referral and was contacted a few days later for a call with the recruiter. It was about 20min. I was invited to the power round of 5 interviews. 1 case interview and 4 with hiring managers. Almost everyone was generally friendly and kind.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Your typical fit questions and some behavioral questions. One interviewer asked questions you could not have possibly prepared for and that was a bit odd. I put in a TON of prep work.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Aug 2025

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Sep 2020
Interview
They only asked me 3 questions. I got unlucky with an interviewer who talked more about herself and the company than allow me to answer the questions. She just went to straight to behavioral questions. Definitely did not expect Capital One to do interviews like that.
