I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Apr 2020
Interview
Initially there is a hacker rank coding quiz which consisted of two questions testing your problem solving abilities. However, after passing the quiz, I had an interview with a hiring manager that I can only describe as bizarre. The questions raised some red flags for me and even if I had received an offer, I would have declined it. I have serious concerns about Capital One management if this interview is indicative of the software engineering management team.
Capital One recruiter has a tendency to ghost on potential candidates if they are not interested.
At first, the recruiter calls you and asks you to take a coding challenge.
Two coding challenges are presented through HackerRank.
Also, the recruiter/HR is very helpful on how the interview will be if they are interested in you. They have a guideline on what to expect.
Due to the Covid-19 Situation, the final interview is completed on a Zoom Video Conference application rather than onsite. Four interviews that consists of two technical tests, behavorial, and a case interview. All four interviews are 45 minutes long. Due to employees working from home, one interviewer made the interview a little bit difficult to concentrate, listening to a screaming kid from the background.
One technical interview has leet code questions and the other technical question is supposed to be a white board question. But due to the interview not being onsite, the interview was more about my resume/technical background.
Behavorial interviewer asks 3 questions. Interviewer expects about 12 - 15 minute length answers using the STAR format.
Most were easy to talk to except one who seemed agitated.
Overall, they were nice, but deceptive.
