I applied online. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Oct 2025
Interview
First CodeSignal OA. Pretty standard 4 questions I answered 3 completely and got partial credit on the fourth. Then recruiter call where they ask you the standard questions about grad date, etc. Then "Power Day" where it's 3 60 minute interviews in a 4 hour window. These interviews are technical, behavioral, and business case.

Interview
Started with coding exam. Next is what they call a “Power Day” where you sit through 3 interviews.
Technical: They have you write your own code to implement a solution.
Behavioral: I was only asked 2 questions. It’s mostly for questions you have about the TDP
Case: They will explain a piece of technology that Capital One is trying to implement and ask you to extrapolate uses. They will show you data and code that you have to rewrite.

Question 1
What is the time complexity of the solution you implemented for the Technical Section?
It wasn’t bad. It was a case followed by a behavioral each around 45 min. Overall it wasn’t as bad and there was a lot of room for exploration. It was really cool to learn from the company
