I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Capital One in Nov 2021
Interview
The recruiter reached out to me. I was rejected by the recruiter before even getting a technical screen interview because I did not have a bachelor's degree, despite years of experience.
OA, if selected then followed by 4 rounds of virtual onsite interview. Case study can be a bit tricky as you can't really prep for it. Recruiter provides a useful prep guide.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One in Dec 2021
Interview
Recruiter reached out to me. We had one intro interview in which I was given the actual application to fill out (Full-Stack Developer). After completing that, I received a take-home technical assessment (CodeSignal / 70min / 4Qs) to do within 2 weeks.
After passing, we scheduled our "Power Day" of interviews. Got a run-down with the recruiter which was nice, but would take it with a grain of salt because some of what was said misled me in my preparation.
Power Day consisted of 2 "Job Fit" Technical interviews, 1 Behavioral, 1 Case. There was a "calibrating interviewer" for the two technical interviews - one was screen-off with no participation, and the other was pretty engaged. The other two just had one interviewer.
1st Job Fit Technical: Systems design
2nd Job Fit Technical: 1 Easy/Med LeetCode problem
Behavioral: 3 Questions, pretty standard
Case: Surprisingly straight-forward, but also not what I expected.
Interviews were fair/easy with proper preparation, but had a negative experience with some of the interviewers who gave some sarcastic remarks.
