I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Capital One in Nov 2018
Interview
The interviewers are really helpful, and the questions are well designed. The major test point include not only statistics but also business understanding, presentation skills and database skills. I reviewed glassdoor reviews online and find it helpful. The data challenge is pretty interesting and I would recommend spend more time on it.

You have one HR supporting throughout, generally quick to get response.
1. Screening Call
2. Hiring Manager (Team Matching)
3. Power Day
Recruiter delayed scheduling the power day and the role got filled. Then they took even longer to match me with another team. Process took several months.
