I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Washington, DC) in Apr 2016
Interview
The interview process is basically just like everyone has stated:
1. Phone screening
2. Basic coding quiz
3. Technical Phone interview
4. Data challenge
5. On-site interview
I don't have much to add over what others have said about the process, but I can confirm that the job does in fact exist and they are not just collecting data. The standards are high but if you can prove that you have a good understanding of statistics and the ability to reason through problems (both business and coding), your application will be well received. I left the on-site interview with mixed feelings about my performance, but wound up getting a very competitive offer with some flexibility regarding location.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They were interesting in my research experience which utilized some computational statistics.
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.
