I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One in Jul 2022
Interview
They do not know how to interview engineers, especially those with experience.
My interview consisted of some random javascript gotcha questions about scope and bind, apply/call.
Actually laughed at their ridiculous questions.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Jun 2022
Interview
The process was quick and simple. From the day I contacted the recruiter I had an offer in less than 2 weeks. They'll move the process as fast as you want them to.
It starts off with a phone call with the recruiter just getting to know you, then you'll get sent a leetcode style test with 4 questions (easy/medium). Most people recommend doing the problems in this order 1-2-4-3 since if you get 1, 2 and 4 correct then you'll be sure to pass.
The power day comes next which was 4 1-hour fully remote interviews. The first one was coding (lc easy/medium). The second one was architectural/design. Next was the behavioral (just use STAR method). And the final was the case interview.
Number one advice on all interviews is to communicate, ask questions, and ensure you understand everything before doing any work. The 4 interviewers notes and reviews on you will be the greatest impact on your total comp offer. Great notes and recommendations from the 4 interviewers will help you get the highest comp offer possible.

Interview
First was Recruiter and then coderpad online assessment and if you pass then virtual onsite. The interviews were easy and straightforward except for this coding round on-site with this specific person, who sucked at conducting interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1st Round - Coderpad, 4 Questions 2 easy, 3rd Medium and 4th Hard
Power Day (on-site) - 4 back to back
1st - System Design - Design Smart Meter for a apartment complex.
2nd - Write code and perform some tasks. Very ambiguous and open ended question and no sample provided. You need to implement some functions. She lied to me that I need not get working code. Not the usual type of algorithmic interview that you would expect. At least define the algorithm. There was this rude and weird women who took this interview. She never answered questions that I asked. She told me that there is no right or wrong to this solution. She was a lead of Test Engineering team and did not know how to conduct interviews. She turned off her camera and whenever I asked her any question she would take her own sweet time to turn on the camera and answer back. She also got up and went away from the laptop for a few mins in the middle of the interview. Capital One please make sure that this women does not conduct anymore interviews.
3rd - Case interview on chat bot. See if there are any changes you make, make it better and stuff
4th - Behavioral, normal questions that are expected.
