I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Capital One (Redding, CA) in Jan 2021
Interview
I know in the world of Zoom interviews, it is hard to get a feel for people. But the interviewer had such a no-energy, bad vibe out of the gate I just knew his mind was made up before we even started. His questions were even irrelevant. I know there could be 1000s of reasons why, but they are selling their company to me as much as I'm selling me to them. I'm 50+ years old, this was by far my first rodeo in this situation but it was the longest, most awkward 30 minutes. I was completely qualified for the job so (in my mind) so it came to would it be a good fit. Never heard anything back. It takes one minute to say thanks for taking the time, but we decided to other candidates. Not sure if they realize that I would never re-apply and discourage anyone else for applying. To be clear, its not because I didn't get further in the hiring phase. Its because the interviewer and process was so bad.

Salary expectations
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (New York, NY) in Oct 2021
Interview
Stress-free. One intro interview, one technical assessment that's not too difficult. If you pass, then you move to a "power day" 4 hour interview that consists of 2 technical interviews and one behavioral.

Question 1
How would you implement a binary search in a language of your choosing?
Very poor experience overall. I applied online with a referral, got the CodeSignal and completed it. Few weeks later, recruiter emailed to schedule final round interview.
Now, I had told the recruiter multiple times that I had a pending offer by a deadline and to have the interview done by then. Recruiter ghosted me and then later said sorry, we have to reschedule for a new date. So I did, even when I asked for a bit earlier since the deadline is incoming. Very disorganized communication.
As for the interview itself, first one was a case? interview which is very abnormal and not done anywhere else really. Second interview was behavioral, but the interviewer was literally reading off a paper and asked the most generic questions - it wasn't really even a conversation. Third interview was pretty hard technical interview question which I couldn't finish completely.
They didn't even get back to me by my deadline, so I just accepted the other offer. C1 rejected me anyway a full week later, not that I was going to accept them anyway.
I really hope you are not this unprofessional and disorganized in your day-to-day with your employees.
