      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA) in Apr 2016

      Interview

      They first send you a dataset challenge which has a regression problem and an exploratory analysis problem. After that there's on site interview which has three rounds. 1.Behavioral interview, which had three questions. Nothing fancy, things about your experience with teamwork and your innovation etc. 2. Case interview, which was similar to the example they have on their website. Some simple arithmetic and some business logic. By this time I was still waiting to have at least one conversation about machine learning and data analysis, nothing. 3. Role play interview is just a technical interview in disguise. I think this is where I lost it. The woman who interviewed me was a statistician who had no appreciation for "modern machine learning models". She thought k-means was modern (ahem). Anyways, she started this ten minutes long rant about how linear regression is still the most robust of models and how modern machine learning research is ruining all that. I didn't get the offer. But I don't think I'd have taken it if I was offered the job. They call themselves innovative, but they're still a bank! a little phony. I asked a lot of questions about their work culture and it was clear that they still have all the qualities of a bank, so not a great place for computer engineers. Was a waste of time, really.

      Question 1

      If you use random forest, how can you explain why it's working to your investors? Isn't linear regression the best?

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Capital One (Toronto)

      Interview

      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.
