I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Oct 2022
Interview
Pros: - Interviews are done within one day - friendly and engaging interviewers for the most part - very helpful recruiters - simple application Cons: - the no interview feedback policy really sucks and does not benefit applicants - one interviewer was not friendly or engaging - case interview was a challenge
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1) How do you follow and keep up with tech innovations? 2) tell me about a time when you had to collaborate with a team in another area to work toward a common goal 3) tell me about a project that I followed through from start or finish 4) describe a time when I taught myself something new to accomplish a specific goal
4 rounds of interview including coding , design , case study, behavioral after clearing the code signal assesment. Coding was medium hard of 2 questions each. case study and system design was difficult.
This took a bit longer than expected, stretching over several weeks. The technical rounds were intense, featuring an LRU cache implementation and a problem on detecting duplicate transactions within a 60-second window. I was nervous at first, but it clicked for me when I realized I had practiced a similar approach on PracHub just days before. Unfortunately, I didn’t receive an offer in the end, but the experience was a solid learning opportunity. The behavioral questions felt straightforward, so I wish I had made a stronger impression in the technical segments.
