I applied online. I interviewed at Capital One (Orlando, FL)
Interview
4 hour interview with 4 different senior engineers. Covered culture and character fit, coding test, and systems design test. The interview was done remotely by interview and scheduled about 2 weeks in advance. An online coding test was required with a specific score to pass the test.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (New York, NY) in Sep 2024
Interview
Was thrown into the pipeline to interview although they said they had no position open. The recruiter was great. She gave all the information and what to expect.
First was technical with CodeSignal. This is really the speed of how fast you can solve algorithms. You have 4 questions 70 minutes or something. Just score 70% and above.
I made it to the power day. algorithm, system design, behavioral and case study. Overall the interviewers were polite. Although one was late and you could tell he clearly was not interested and did not like the fact he was interviewing me.
The recruiter was great and I really enjoyed the process at first. I completely failed system design and that was the only interviewer I felt was caring and resonated the culture Capitol One keeps touting.
The other ones were late and you could tell they did not want to be there. I had to call the phone number to see if he was going to show.
After the whole process there was no feed back or anything.
I hear it just depends on the interviewers you get, and i got 2 rude impatient ones.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you had disagreement with someone
The interview process was fairly straight forward. The only hiccup was the "Case Study". It can be very subjective and my interview seemed a bit rude when conducting that one. So be prepared for that.
