I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Plano, TX)
Interview
During the four hour back-to-back final interviews, I was interviewed by men who kept cutting me off to state the answers. It felt like they were impatient to get through a list of answers. Very little diversity in the interviewers and rarely a second interviewer to lessen bias. The online online interviews didn't have a break and what I was actually technically interviewing for was the last one, at which point I was mentally exhausted.
I’ve had back-to-back interviews with more flexibility and dialogue to tackle questions. They seem big on system design and DS & A questions.
Surprisingly manageable — the interview felt more like a conversation than an interrogation. It began with a sequence of coding questions, including one on merging overlapping intervals. The real challenge came during system design, where I had to outline a URL shortener service that could scale impressively. Interestingly, I had just looked at a similar architecture on PracHub, which helped me articulate my thoughts clearly. The technical questions wrapped up with validating a binary search tree, and I ended with a positive vibe. I received an offer, but ultimately chose to decline it.

Question 1
Merge overlapping intervals from a list of time ranges
Interviewed for an engineer position, the interview was a joke. Asked basic OOP question with a few follow ups - no system design portion. Interviewer was very laid back and chill, didn't take it to seriously.
Was not too difficult. three total interviews all on the same day back to back. technical one, behavioral one and a case which was more of just a debugging question
