Envié una solicitud electrónica. El proceso duró más de 1 semana. Acudí a una entrevista en Capital One (Richmond, VA) en dic 2014
Entrevista
1. A recruiter called who said they mainly hire Ph.D's. I think it was something like 60/30/10 Ph.D/MS/BS.
2. Initial simple technical online quiz
3. Two separate interviews (one case study) and one technical (stats/coding) where each was 30 minutes long.
All the questions were pretty standard though not necessarily indicative of data science performance.

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.
