I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (New York, NY) in Nov 2023
Interview
Fair, straightforward interview process. Started off with a phone screen with a recruiter, then a take home coding assessment. After the assessment was the superday, 4 interviews, 3 of which were technical. They included another code assessment, system design, a business focused "case interview", and a behavioral round.
I really appreciated that the coding round wasn't focused on strictly algorithms, or arbitrary data structures, but rather a more realistic scenario you'd have to deal with on the job.
Final round is a talk with the hiring manager for team placement after you're through the superday

Interview
Recruiter reached out to me and discussed a couple positions with me. One of them was a mid level role and the other a senior role. I went with the senior one. She assured me I was qualified for either. I passed the online coding assessment. Then the recruiter was laid off. I was transferred to another recruiter, and this recruiter informed me I didn't meet the basic qualifications for the senior level positions. The mid level role was no longer available. Pretty irritating as I would have went for that role straight away if I'd have known I wasn't qualified for senior.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Chicago, IL) in Sep 2023
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter to apply to Capital One. I passed the online code challenge and was asked to do a power day with 4 one hour interviews. The questions asked were pretty normal but the interviewers seemed disengaged and not well trained in interviewing. As a woman in tech, being interviewed by 6 men with similar personalities who are all lacking soft skills, I cant help but feel like diversity and gender equality are not very important to the engineering side of the company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
In the behavioral interview, the interviewer asked me to format my answers in the classic "situation, behavior, impact" format so that he could fill out the rubric he was provided. He then spent 10 minutes in between each question typing out my responses and then looking over his notes while I sat there silently.
