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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can't remember anything specific, but know your modeling well. Also be sure you can explain how models work and can interpret their outputs and explain the outputs.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Capital One (Dallas, TX) in Jan 2026
Interview
I had an interview with the hiring manager, and she started to ask about my CV and went through the details of each project, and also asked additional questions about each project, what would happen if we do this or that
The recruiter call me and after a 30 min meeting with HR they set me up for interview with the manager, but no one showed up and they never responded my email
Two technical rounds with case studies and coding + SQL. Coding was just LC easy level and SQL was a bit more challenging but being comfortable with all the key words should be good enough.
