I applied online. I interviewed at Capital One in Aug 2022
Interview
Got a call from the recruiter the next day after applying and was sent an Online Assessment that needed to be completed within the first two weeks. After asking the recruiter what to expect on the OA, she mentioned it would be entirely algorithm based and nothing SQL… which did not make sense to me since Data Engineering is at least 50% SQL. The OA was proctored, with camera recording and sound recording. The OA had 4 questions, two very easy ones and then two very hard questions… the last two questions had to do with matrixes and advanced algorithms. It seems that this was more a Software Engineer type assessment and that they were looking more for a SW Engineer to want to transition to a DE role. If you are actually a Data Engineer with more than 2 years experience, this may not be the right role for you.

Question 1
Two easy questions, like valid palindrome and two sum, and two hard questions with matrix solving and a problem similar to candy crush on leetcode
Having completed the entire process yet, but the recruiter and coordinator have been pleasant to work with. They give you tips and tricks to complete for OA and their powerday.
too technical but covered all grounds, enjoyed the process. It kinda boosted my expectations, which is rare. Was stuck at a point and the hiring manager was kind enough to help me a bit, was nervous but hopefully everything went amazing.
