I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA) in Sept 2021
Interview
After the HR screening I got a coding test via Codesignal platform. The test could have been allright for a fresh CS grad but when it comes to a 20 year experienced person with skills in people management there should be more niche ways to make the separation, not just putting a CS 2nd year algorithms & data structures coding questions at the first round.

Question 1
All questions can be solved with list iterations, Dont care about neat coding & complexity, just concentrate on results and be fast. As far as I observed you need to solve at least 2 complete questions out of 4.
The process is lengthy and I can appreciate that they're not just Leetcode tech interviews but are designed to better determine skills from the candidate. However, I was applying for a people manager position and was recruited for a backend team, despite my resume clearly identifying my experience on frontend teams in the past. Regardless, I was advised to proceed since I had management experience. I made it through the power day and my feedback was that while my management skills were strong, I lacked experience in the backend systems they were looking at. Understood, I just wish that had been communicated all around in a better way or to have that interview count towards a frontend team as well.

I applied online. I interviewed at Capital One in Feb 2025
Interview
It was smooth and happend to be on three different dates. There was a two behavior ,1 system design, 1 live coding and 1 case interview, which I found to be not prepared for.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (California, MD) in Aug 2024
Interview
My first call was with the recruiter from CapitalOne. He talked for 50 minutes non-stop about CapitalOne and he was boasting of his own expertise in recruitment and how he can just glance a resume and tell about that person. I think some level of humbleness is must for a recruiter and also must allow the other party to speak.
