I applied online. I interviewed at Capital One in May 2017
Interview
Same as others have mentioned, phone call from HR - coding - phone interview with a data scientist - data challenge - on-site. The recruiter is definitely helpful and nice.
C1 seems to have a high rejection rate at the on-site interview. I also felt confused about some of the interview questions. They seem to have little to do with your modeling skills but rather very open and general questions. The technical part is not technical at all, just random talk. Very easy questions and very very very casual... It seems the interviewer didnt even make proper preparation. I had the feeling that my hiring manager didn't want to hire me at the beginning because the manager didn't even interview me. I had a mixed feeling about the C1 interview process. I got rejection without even meeting the hiring manager in person... I was a little bit frustrated after all the work for this.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
technical part: project experience
behavioral: tell me a time you stop learning
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.
