I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Capital One in Aug 2022
Interview
Interview process included an online tech screening round followed by a five hour power day round. Power day included two rounds of behavioral interviews followed by coding, design, and a technical case study round. Overall the interviews were reasonable and all interviewers were friendly and pleasant.

Question 1
behavioral - personal and leadership technical - coding, case, and design
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2020
Interview
After talking with the recruiter, I took an online coding assessment. The assessment had a two day time limit, so I blocked out time to do it, it took about 6 hours altogether. Then met with a panel of managers. Was not clear who the hiring manager was, or who I'd be working with. I came an additional time and was given a tour of the office by the VP. He was really great, gave me confidence in the organization that I did not have before. Was offered a position with a different title than I applied to and reporting to a director I'd never met.

Question 1
there were so manyHad to write a block of code that was checked for positive and negative test cases as well as performance (very long strings). I asked about it it later, no one ever looks at the exercise, just the score. In person questions were about experience and how to handle conflict and adversity. One interview included a short exercise with a block of supposedly real production code that was awful, I had to analyze and explain why it was wrong.
Coding challenge pre screen. They allowed 3 hours for it but it took less than 1. Several behavioral interviews. One math related interview. One interview with PM team. Everyone was very friendly.
