I applied online. I interviewed at Capital One (Plano, TX)
Interview
3 interviews: 1 behavior, 1 case interview, 1 job fit interview. I applied online and heard back within two weeks to do an onsite interview. The case interview was similar to a systems design sort of interview, since I interviewed for a tech role. The job fit interview was pretty similar to a typical coding interview, was asked two questions. One was a leetcode type coding question, and the other one had a vague description which required me to design classes and talk through my assumptions/tradeoffs to solve the problem.

Q: Capital One acquired ING bank back in 2000, since they were the leaders in digital banking. What do you think would have been the implications of merging the systems of Capital One with ING's? (Case Interview)
I applied online. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA)
Interview
The interview process is broken up into 3 parts each 45 minutes long. They consist of a case interview, technical interview or as they call it a jobfit interview, and a behavioral interview. The interviewers some were on a computer and typing some weren't.

Question 1
The case interview for me was an encryption case study. First we talked about public and private key encryption, which type of information we want to encrypt (think risk assessment models here), why cybersecurity as a whole is important. Then the actual study was a we were given some kind of command line function that ran an encryption script on a file. I was asked to write pseudo code. The command line script returns a 0 upon successful completion.
Design a transaction system for debit and credit card accounts. We have to save the last 7 months of customer statements, and some other requirements. OOD UML class diagram fine I was told.
Given a dollar amount convert it into euro coins and bills. You are given the dollar amount as the argument, and said that the dollar to euro rate is 1.30. You are given that euro denomations are 500 bill, 200 bill, 100 bill, 50 bill, 20 bill, 10 bill, 5 bill, 2 bill, 1 bill, 50 cents, 25 cents, 10 cents, 5 cents, 2 cents, 1 cent. Convert that dollar amount into the least amount of bills and coins.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Sep 2018
Interview
I received an email directly about an Onsite Interview at the Mclean Site and interviewed the week after. They spend a lot of time selling their brand to the potential interns and lulling us into a false sense of security. It appears that the Case Study has changed from previous cycles and now is related to CS. I had a very confusing problem about Cyber Security in which the interview just told me to solve using some form a Psuedocode. On a regular day I would be ready for this in a tech interview, but all of the Glassdoor reviews and Capital One prep material acted as if it were business related so I spent time looking up material that was ultimately unrelated to the interview. The CS question during the Technical Interview were simple Greedy Algorithms problems using arrays, but I rated this as Difficult solely because of the confusing Case Study Problem.
