Capital One Interview Question Bank

Capital One's engineering loop is unusually predictable: a long CodeSignal OA gates everyone, then a single Power Day stitches four 45-60 minute rounds — coding, system design, case study, and behavioral — back to back. The technical bar is moderate but the case study and BQ rounds carry real weight, especially for MLE / Applied Research / Data Science where the business-context framing of a model decision is the differentiating signal.

Virtual Credit Card Validator (Case Study)

The canonical Capital One case study. Three phases: discuss virtual credit cards as a product, implement a rule-based transaction validator using bit-position rules embedded in card and transaction IDs, then debug provided code that fails some tests. Appears in SDE, MLE, and Applied Research loops.
