Don't waste time on here. If though you pass the interview, they won't hire you, you need to wait for team matching which make sense at this point, but they will tell after 3 months that they don't have head count. What a nice waste of time.

Question 1
They copied what everything Amazon do. Prepare for Amazon interview help a lot.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Capital One in Apr 2026
Interview
1) CodeSignal. 2) first round informal discussion with researcher 3) final loop: coding (leetcode medium), ML/DL round, business case study, behavioral and presentation (w/two researchers). Business case study is quite easy . ML/DL round was a bit weird and non-standard in terms of questions.
Interview overall was not too hard but I met multiple times with an interviewer who was pretty rude and dismissive of other people's work (even if published in top conferences). Told I was rejected because I didn't have experience in things I have experience in.
