I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One in Oct 2021
Interview
Applied directly on their site, and received a phone interview invite within a week or so.
Phone interview was around 30 mins and covered overview of the company and asked some basic questions like 'Why do you want to work here'?
Received an email with a link to the Code Signal. Took it a few days later and passed by solving 3/4 of the questions.
Heard back within a day or two with results and schedule the onsite final interview.
Onsite final interview had 4 rounds consisting of behavioral, case study, DS/Algo, and systems design. Heard back the next day with results.

Interview
Power-Day, which comprises of Case Study, Behavioral, and a Technical.
Case Study: Look at some code and tell them what it's doing, this was the only enjoyable part of the interview.
Behavioral: Bunch of "Name a time when..." This was probably the most uncomfortable interview ever and the interviewer was not friendly when struggling to find an example for certain questions. I did great on my technical and case study but this interview really just frustrated me. The case study felt more of behavior than this interview.
Technical: 2x LC Mediums
