I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Capital One
Interview
Very friendly experience with interviewers and overall great people. Had an incredibly attentive recruiter to guide me throughout the process. Would recommend to anyone looking to get their foot into software development!
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Capital One (Philadelphia, PA) in Apr 2023
Interview
Very long and useless online coding problems. Leet Code hard level and problems that don't apply in real life. I would definitely redesign the interview process. I wouldn't work there if these are the demands.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One in May 2024
Interview
The recruiter was super nice and sent me plenty of study material in advance to prepare for the interview.
The interview was a super day and consisted of the following in this order:
- Systems design (design a banking app)
- Coding challenge (handle transactions)
- Case study (review the budget for SDLC)
- Behavioral (3 STAR format questions)
- Systems design
This was fairly straightforward. I'm not too sure how I fared however because the interviewer was nearly completely silent throughout the entire interview process, only giving me acknowledgements, etc, and not really conversing with me.
- Coding challenge
I finished as much as I could however one of the outputs was incorrect and neither I or the interviewer could figure out what was wrong.
- Case study
This was by far one of the worst interviews I have ever been a part of. The interviewer was extremely rude, and his accent was nearly impossible to understand. I kept politely asking him to clarify because I couldn't understand him and he was clearly frustrated with me.
- Behavioral
By far the easiest! If you know your STAR format then you should do fine
