Good for kids out of college
Capital One is like the minor leagues for college grads. It's a great place to get paid and learn, then bail. The best TDPs quit and join fang; the worst stay and become part of the problem.
Beyond the TDP program, Capital One is not a good place for engineers. It is all about politics and your brand when it comes to the stack ranking (aka required to fire a certain percent, and promotions only possible if your peers are worse than you – no bigger pie, just growth at the expense of others). As to being a “tech company” – what a joke.
I think management is the problem. That and stack ranking based off politics and not technical ability.

Easy, one case, one behavioral, one technical interview. By far the easiest interview I ever had. Normal behavioral questions, and for the case, just think from a business standpoint. Prep LeetCode Easy for the technical.
Software Engineer
Easy. Four rounds. 1. Behavioral. 2. Coding. 3. A “technical business” discussion. 4. A system design round based on resume and experience. Interviewers were nice and fair. The recruiter was very pushy and didn’t give me time to decide on the offer

They first send an automated CodeSignal. After that, there's a resume screen, followed by an interview with three different rounds: a technical case study and a behavioral interview. Make sure to practice LeetCode to prepare.
