Capital One interview questions

Recruiter screen, hiring manager interview, power day interviews (2 behavioral, 1 system design, 1 coding, 1 case interview) Red flag 1 - The titles at Capital One are inflated. Senior Engineering Manager role is more toward coding and being hands-on within a small team. No scope for managing multiple teams, mentoring, setting strategic vision and technology roadmap. Red flag 2 - Cookie cutter interview templates which does not assess your skill sets. Red flag 3 - Coding interview was set-up for failure, the assessment tool did not have IntelliSense, not allowed to check for syntax online while sharing screen. I did not understand the interviewer's logic to expect candidate to remember syntax and how it correlated to the candidate's abilities/skills. The problem was copy pasted on the solution file itself rather than presenting that as a separate panel. I had trouble scrolling back and forth.

I did an online test followed by three interviews: one with HR, one with hiring manager and one with other manager. The process was over two months. Then I was ghosted, which was a new experience for me. I have over 15 years of work experience and have interviewed and worked at many prestigious institutions. This was the first time I had an organization in Canada ghost me after doing three rounds. This is not normal and should be considered as a major red flag for any future applicants.
