The hiring process at Capital One takes an average of 90 days when considering 1 user submitted interviews across all job titles. Candidates applying for Senior AI Engineer had the quickest hiring process (on average 90 days), whereas Senior AI Engineer roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 90 days).
First stage was an online assessment, then a take home. Then what's called power day which took almost a whole day. Online assessment could be solved with any tool of choice - python, sql, r, etc.
I applied online. I interviewed at Capital One (Wilmington, DE) in Jan 2025
Interview
The interview process includes a call with a recruiter, a CodeSignal assessment with four tasks, and a PowerDay consisting of four interviews: two technical, one case study, and one behavioral. The recruiter is professional and communicative. However, having four interviews in a single day can be quite exhausting.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you design a system according to the given requirements?
Power Day: You will have three independent interviewers who will each give your recruiter feedback on how you performed. So if you don't do well on one section, don't let that affect your performance on the other sections. Keep moving forward. It;s a marathon not a sprint.
But if it comes down to a tiebreaker between you and another candidate, you might not get the offer so try to not mess up.
