      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Capital One

      Interview

      First had to pass an OA on codesignal. Recruiter then scheduled a Power Day interview virtually: 1 Case interview - 1 Behavioral interview - 1 System design - 1 Technical Questions are pretty standard and not too diffucult. Interviewers were friendly.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      1 Case interview - This one's unique. Have some product perspective to evaluate benefits/cons. Be prepared to evaluate logic based questions. 1 Behavioral interview - Pretty generic "Tell me about a time when.." 1 System design - Generic Design XYZ 1 Technical - Leetcode Mediums
      Answer question
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Capital One in Sep 2022

      Interview

      They advertise a lot of job positions and keep hiring which is a negative sign. Looks like the company employees turnover is very high. My process started with a phone call with HR, then they assigned a Power Day for me. A couple of days before that, I had around 30mins casual interview with someone to get more familiar with the company culture. The Power Day has been explained enough in previous comments so I try to be brief. It's very exhausting and not very challenging at the same time, you just have to memorize their typical questions. On the other side, most interviewers are super bored since they probably keep interviewing a lot of people with repeated questions. Then HR let me know that I've passed the Power Day and they need to fit me with a hiring manager, BUT he told me they can give me a lower position now [PA instead of Lead Engineer]. It's a known game among HR people to hook you up with good promises then after spending a lot of time and energy they'll tell you that they can give you only this lower level. Anyway, I still interviewed a couple of managers and found it not very interesting workspace for my career/life. Overall, as people mentioned earlier, they're good if you want to practice interviewing but don't expect any serious outcome. Good luck!

      Application

      I interviewed at Capital One (Chicago, IL)

      Interview

      First round: 4 questions on an automated coding platform. First two were relatively easy and last 2 were difficult. Would suggest not prematurely optimizing. Second round: 4 interviews on one day ("power day").
