Question 1

I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Capital One (New York, NY) in Mar 2024
Interview
Scheduled an initial phone screen. The recruiter called me several days prior to the scheduled day, without warning. Asked if I can reschedule the interview or have the interview now if I am available. For whatever reason I obliged to do it right away. She didn't give any details about the role at all, runs through a checklist of questions already answered on the application, then utterly dismisses me as a QA without allowing me to elaborate on my experience whatsoever. Probably my worst ever experience with a phone screen.
Pretty typical of SWE interviews. Mix of leetcode easies/ mediums, with a semi-system design round (not quite sys design but similar). Behavioral questions seems important to do well in and be prepared for.
