I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Capital One
Interview
After applying through my college's career fair (in the Winter), it took around 2 months for them to email me about having an on-campus interview. They sent me exactly what to expect in the interview through an email. There is a Case interview (a problem experienced by Capital One in the past), a Behavioral interview (discussing notable experiences from your resume), and a Technical interview (2 coding questions, probably easier than most Leetcode Easys and a high-level design question). Each interview was with a different person. Within a week, they gave me a response regarding how I did during the interview (which unfortunately was a no offer). The interview experience was relatively laid-back and definitely not hard. I probably didn't get the offer because my coding question portion was relatively slow (for pretty easy questions) and I stumbled a little on describing my experience in the behavioral section.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
A system design/data structure question. Describe a way to structure how to use credit and debit cards for an account (given different functions for each).
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
