Process
I applied through an employee referral and on-campus. The process took about 6 weeks before they emailed me back.
I had a direct "final" interview that was 3 hours long and was on campus. The interview was split into three parts:
- Technical
- Case study
- Behavioral
The case study is technically based and isn't very similar to the practice one that Capital One provides online. Although it took a long time before they reached out to me, I was able to get my offer about a few hours after my interview was over.
