I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA) in Oct 2017
Interview
I applied through a referral and was contacted by a recruiter to schedule a phone call later that week. It was just a simple get-to-know-you phone call. After that, I was invited to the final interview on-site. This consisted of the 3 interviews have mentioned. Everyone I met at Capital One was friendly and open about their experience working there. I received an offer a few days after the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you explained a technical topic to a non-technical person.
Recruiter screening to begin with. Then, technical discussion about java, spring boot, design pattern, small coding tasks and followed by design assessment for distributed systems. Finally, managerial round for the team fit
Scheduled a call with recruiter. Recruiter didnt show up for the screening call and cancelled it 5 mins after the scheduled time. Dropped a follow up email and got no response. After a week, I got an email from the recruiter stating I am selected for the next round i.e Assessment. Sent me an email with the assessment description but no link. When I sent a follow up email asking for the link, I got ghosted again. It was a bad experience. Felt like she is toying with me. Why ghost an applicant repetitively? Unprofessional recruiter who doesn't respect an applicant's time or efforts!
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.
