Interview
Two weeks after applying I received an email from the recruiter about scheduling a phone screen. The phone screen was about 15 mins and I was asked why Capital One, why CODA, and how do I stay current with technology. My final interview took place one week after my phone screen. My final interview was on zoom and there were 3 parts: Job Fit, Behavioral Interview & Technical Case.
For the job fit, it was past CODA associates asking me questions like why CODA, what do I like about technology, why do I want to be a software engineer. It was a conversation and I was able to ask them questions about the program.
The behavioral interview was the pretty standard tell me about a time… I was also able to have a regular conversation with the interviewer about her role and ask her questions.
The technical case wasn’t that bad. It wasn’t like the analyst case interview though. A few concepts were explained to me and I had to ask questions to clear some things up and provide answers about what I think would be important to know. I then received a lot of questions from my interviewer that required me to do basic algebra. For this case I actually used substitution method to solve a problem, then I provided a recommendation. Brush up on your basic algebra skills. It will help a lot.
3 days after the interview I received an offer letter.
Overall the interview is not hard if you are prepared and really know your why. They look for passion for technology and creativity.
