I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2025
Interview
I recently went through the interview process for the Software Engineering Internship at Capital One for Summer 2025. The process was smooth: I applied in mid-January, and the recruiter reached out after about eight days. My interview was scheduled three weeks later, including a case interview, a technical interview, and a behavioral interview. I received my offer about a week after the interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
In my case interview, I was given a business-related scenario where I had to discuss the benefits and challenges for both customers and Capital One. There were also rules on validating card numbers and a debugging task, with a bonus question that served as a tiebreaker. The technical interview combined OOP concepts with LeetCode-style questions, focusing more on list manipulation and data structures. Finally, the behavioral interview emphasized speaking about my individual contributions rather than the team's work.
Power day (technical, behavioral, case study). Online assessment beforehand using code signal. Leetcode medium level questions for all (maybe 1 easy in the OA). Prepare for object oriented programming as well.
1 tech with easy leetcodes (4-5 subparts), 3 behavioral questions, and 1 case with information about understanding a C1 problem and applying the following provided information to create a solution.
