I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA) in Jan 2016
Interview
Really fun and accommodating. Probably the best interview process I've had. I first had an on grounds interview which was all behavioral questions. After, they brought me for an interview at their office in Richmond where they first gave us all a tour of their office. Then, you were assigned to a room where you have three interviews: behavioral, case study, and job fit. Each interview was around 30 min, and you had a person come in and talk to you and interview you.

Other Software Engineer Interview Reviews for Capital One
Surprisingly manageable — the interview felt more like a conversation than an interrogation. It began with a sequence of coding questions, including one on merging overlapping intervals. The real challenge came during system design, where I had to outline a URL shortener service that could scale impressively. Interestingly, I had just looked at a similar architecture on PracHub, which helped me articulate my thoughts clearly. The technical questions wrapped up with validating a binary search tree, and I ended with a positive vibe. I received an offer, but ultimately chose to decline it.

Question 1
Merge overlapping intervals from a list of time ranges
Interviewed for an engineer position, the interview was a joke. Asked basic OOP question with a few follow ups - no system design portion. Interviewer was very laid back and chill, didn't take it to seriously.
Was not too difficult. three total interviews all on the same day back to back. technical one, behavioral one and a case which was more of just a debugging question
