I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Aug 2025
Interview
Online OA, then Powerday with technical, behavioral, and case interview. Technical is a pretty simple OOD related to banking, behavioral is typical 'describe a time when...' questions, and case interview is pretty unique, but in my case was just determining if inputs were approved or not given some basic requirements, then coding up a solution that was exactly what you manually traced through.

Data structures coding , less algorithm.
Mostly cares about communication , less implementation.
