I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One in Oct 2021
Interview
Applied directly on their site, and received a phone interview invite within a week or so.
Phone interview was around 30 mins and covered overview of the company and asked some basic questions like 'Why do you want to work here'?
Received an email with a link to the Code Signal. Took it a few days later and passed by solving 3/4 of the questions.
Heard back within a day or two with results and schedule the onsite final interview.
Onsite final interview had 4 rounds consisting of behavioral, case study, DS/Algo, and systems design. Heard back the next day with results.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Behavioral: prep a few stories and answer using the STAR method
DS/Algo: leetcode easy/mediums
System Design: Grokking System Design or comparable materials
Case Study: Can't really prep for this round
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.
