I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One in Mar 2023
Interview
People were very nice, and the interview process was fun. As I mentioned in the "interview questions" section, there were 4 interviews except the meetings with the recruiter. Everything was well organized, and there is nothing I can complain about the interview process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Screening was a coding interview in an automated environment (no interviewer). I thought I failed, apparently it was enough to pass. There were 4 questions in 70 minutes. I could not touch the 4th one. Medium Leetcode question in coding interview. Build a banking system in design interview. Behavioral interview.
The assessment has zero correlation to the job duties, but the Power Day is a very pleasant experience for the most part. One terrible interviewer who didn't seem interested in being there from the word jump, but otherwise pleaseane
After passing initial coding assessment, virtual power day was scheduled. It consisted of four interviews - System Design, Coding, Behavioral, Case interviews. In System Design interview, after I drew the components I was trying to proceed to designing api and database. But, the interviewers started asking questions and did not let me lead the interview. They were impatient and it was one of the worst system design interviews that I attended. In coding interview, the interviewer tried to hasten me and asked me to run the code. It was not a great experience either. Behavioral consisted of only 3 questions while one hour was scheduled for the interview. Case interview consisted of quite easy analytical problem.
Recruiter mentioned that offer is given after team matching. So far, it appears that hiring managers at Capital One are narrow-minded. It appears that Capital One is not a technology focused company.
