I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Nov 2021
Interview
First round was data science case study with team member, questions about how to model a problem, what data to collect, what model to use, and model evaluation.
Then a take home test to analyze some data and answer questions.
Then on site - multiple interviews, mostly asking questions about research and experience. Also a case study round where you view data/model outputs and explain results. No probability brainteasers.
