I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Oct 2023
Interview
Really smooth and recruiter was super friendly. No surprises and felt very prepared because of resources passed along from recruiter. I had an internal referral which I think helped. Even after the interview process, the vibes are really great. Can tell that people genuinely enjoy working at Capital One and I am overall very excited.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Case question about designing system to securely store customer data and debugging a code snippet.
it was easy, standard powerday three rounds. Lots of common questions, and the guides they gave us was helpful. Took long for recruiters to get back to you though. I would recommend really knowing OOP
3 questions + follow ups:
one time you challenged the status quo
one time you worked in a team
one time you learned something new for a project
1: track all purchases for customers (no refunds)
how to track refunds?
