I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One in Apr 2019
Interview
The hiring process was pretty straight forward. I applied online through a link we all got in college for the TDP program and then a few days later, a recruiter talked to me to schedule an on-site interview. So this was my first interview (in life) and it had 3 parts- Technical, behavioral and case. I was asked an OOP question (pretty straightforward) and a binary tree pruning problem in my technical round. I freaked out but the interviewer still helped me out. The behavioral is pretty standard and the case isn’t too bad either. Overall I didn’t get an offer but I am planning on applying again in 6 months, great interview experience.

I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Tysons Corner, VA) in May 2019
Interview
Disorganized. Poor communication. Hastily put-together. Every step of the way, HR mismanaged communication and expectations. Full-time staff had no idea why I had to fly out to an alternate location to do an interview for a position in a different city. Instead of eating lunch with me, a potential recruit, they left me eat by myself with a salad that was sitting out for hours.
