I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One in Mar 2022
Interview
Applied online, and a recruiter reached out to me to complete an online assessment. 4 medium-hard LC questions.
A few weeks later, was informed to participate in the power day.
Power day interviews:
1. Started with the technical interview. Interviewer is a current TDP associate. Asked to built some classes and implement functions using basic data structures. Next was a linked-list question, with some math manipulation involved. Pray you get the question that is tagged in LC, mine wasn't.
2. Behavioral Interview is next. Recruiter is from a managerial position, asked typical behavioral question.
3. Last was the case interview. The first part was to think about the pros and cons of implementing a smart system. The last part of the interview was the doozy one, where you would take a look at a specific code and suggest the behavioral of it. The recruiter gave me some context of where the code is taken from, but it was not clear even when I asked for clarification.
Overall, the interview process outcome can somewhat depend on luck, where you could get the exact question you practice for in LC and get lucky with an easy case interview question.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Technical interview - Implement classes and their functions. Linked-list problem involving some math manipulation.
Behavioral interview - typical behavioral type questions that you should expect.
Case interview - pros and cons of system, then look at a piece of code and deduce an outcome. Try to improve and extend the code provided.
Capital One's TDP (Technology Development Program) interview process involved a CodeSignal OA followed by a virtual Power Day. The Power Day was a ~4-hour marathon with three separate interviews and an hour break: a Technical (OOP, data structures, code modification), a Case Study (business scenario with code/logic), and a Behavioral (using the STAR method for teamwork/challenge questions).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to learn something new quickly.
Passed the OA, they sent email asking for more information then scheduled Power Day consisting of 3 interviews. One was purely behavioral, one was their case interview and one was a technical coding problem (not Leetcode)
I was contacted by a recruiter initially for an initial screening call where I was asked about my background and why I wanted to work for Capital One. After that, I was given a technical assessment on CodeSignal where I had to solve 4 questions in 90 minutes.
