I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Capital One (Philadelphia, PA) in Apr 2023
Interview
Very long and useless online coding problems. Leet Code hard level and problems that don't apply in real life. I would definitely redesign the interview process. I wouldn't work there if these are the demands.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One in May 2024
Interview
The recruiter was super nice and sent me plenty of study material in advance to prepare for the interview.
The interview was a super day and consisted of the following in this order:
- Systems design (design a banking app)
- Coding challenge (handle transactions)
- Case study (review the budget for SDLC)
- Behavioral (3 STAR format questions)
- Systems design
This was fairly straightforward. I'm not too sure how I fared however because the interviewer was nearly completely silent throughout the entire interview process, only giving me acknowledgements, etc, and not really conversing with me.
- Coding challenge
I finished as much as I could however one of the outputs was incorrect and neither I or the interviewer could figure out what was wrong.
- Case study
This was by far one of the worst interviews I have ever been a part of. The interviewer was extremely rude, and his accent was nearly impossible to understand. I kept politely asking him to clarify because I couldn't understand him and he was clearly frustrated with me.
- Behavioral
By far the easiest! If you know your STAR format then you should do fine
