It was On-Site. They flew me out for it. I showed up with probably 50 other interviewees. We did some touring plus 3 technical interviews. They were Leet code like questions but not too difficult. I was the only woman interviewing. And the office was filled with men.
I only made it to the coding assessment interview.
It was 4 questions on Code Signal, where the first two questions were very easy and the last two very difficult. The time limit was an hour and 10 minutes.
I recommend doing a ton of leetcodes leading up to it, and do all the practice questions on the Code Signal platform. I was only able to make it through half of those questions before the exam, which is why I did well on the first half.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given a char matrix, and an array of words, find the total number of occurrences for each word in the matrix (the occurrences of each word in the matrix summed together).
NOTE: When finding the word, you can only switch directions once (for each time you search the matrix for that word).
example:
a b c d e
r a c e a
b b s e a
on row two, (lets say the word we are looking for is racecar), we can change directions once (after visiting r, a, c, and e, to get c, a, and r again)
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Capital One in Feb 2023
Interview
Take home coding is too long to complete, spent few hours only to be not heard back from the company. No solution was posted so if you did not get picked for interview, you basically wasted 2+ hours of your life.
