      Senior Platform Engineer Interview

      Apr 25, 2024
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      McLean, VA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Apr 2024

      Interview

      The interview process is long, intense, and weird. I interviewed with the hiring manager first, and that was a very nice intro to what the position was about and the expectations. I moved to the Power Day interview process where you get four people who must likely work on the same organization/team as they are hiring you, They give you two days where you chose your interview times. I do not recommend taking all of them on the same day since each interview is important for getting the job offer. In my case, break it into two days. Case Interview: (Difficult) They gave me an App Testing case where you need to break down the software/app release through an entire year and calculate the budget for a testing case. I did not do well because the interviewer guided me a lot, and I was confused for the first portion of the time. Also, it was broken into four parts, and I only performed two of them since there was not more time left of the one hour scheduled. Behavioral: It was fine, and the interviewer gave me three things to describe my experience. Please make sure you prepare your answer with the STAR method. First Job Fit: This one was weird since the interviewer did not ask me technical questions about the role but more open-ended questions. Second Job fit: This one was more technical and tested my knowledge of the role and the things I had listed on my resume. I recommend preparing for the case interview and behavioral. Those are interviews that can impact their decision to offer you the job. Job fitting interviews, make sure what you put in the resume you can speak about and give out real example.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why capital one? Describe how technical skills help you to resolve an issue. Describe how programming languages/scripting help you to achieve a goal. Describe a time when your manager /colleague did not agree with you and how you handled it.
