I applied online. I interviewed at Capital One (New York, NY) in Apr 2023
Interview
The Systems Design interview was a nightmare. The lady interviewer kept interrupting me because she didn't like my answers and seemed to be confused about what she was actually asking. The other tree interviews were ok but I'd like interviewers to be at least cordial, show less bias and have some communication training.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Build a banking application (from scratch) that accepts deposits and withdrawals, a user can have multiple accounts. Then add in transfers. Then add in user statistics.
30mins with hiring manager, 1 hour job-specific skills, 1 hour behavioural interview. Offer letter and rest of the process was smooth. Generally easy-to-moderate questions in STAR format, modest interviewers. An all-round good experience.

Question 1
How do you prevent double payments in a card payment system?
It was challenging, thoughtful, rather fun at times and stressful. You will never know what they want so just let your personality shine through. This should be enough - I have no more.
