I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Toronto, ON) in Oct 2019
Interview
This is a new grad position so the application is in September 2019 and job starts 2020
1. Online application
2. 40 min skill test, some basic Python/SQL and probability questions, was not hard but tight on time
3. 1v1 campus interview with someone from the data science team, interview has a 30 min business case + 15 min skills/personality
4. If you advance onto the final round they'll pair you up with someone from the organization and there will be a social the night before final round interview, it was very helpful
5. Final round: interview SUPER DAY!! 4 hrs in total, two 1-hr-long cases(they draw from a pool of cases they have so really depend on your luck, they could be very different cases, and one was pretty challenging for me). Then there's technical, go over your technical background plus more python + SQL question and simple ML question. And finally a behavioural interview, there were only 3 questions so you really have to talk a lot!
6. Got rejected (me only, not you I'm sure)
Overall I think it was pretty challenging and long, but they get back to you quickly which was very nice and I really really enjoyed interacting with people from C1. There was a LOT of competition for the new grad positions and unfortunately i did not get an offer this time but I did learn a lot through the process and I would consider applying for another position there in the future!
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.
