I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA) in Apr 2024
Interview
- Recruiter reached out to discuss my technical experience and skills.
- Was given an online CodeSignal assessment to complete within a week. I completed 2/4 questions and passed.
- Recruiter scheduled my 4-hour Power Day interview, it involved technical and behavioral portions. Was called afterwards and rejected.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
When was a time you and a coworker had a disagreement, and how did you handle it?
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.
