      Software Engineering Associate (Entry Level Form College) Interview

      18 Nov 2016
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Capital One in Oct 2016

      Interview

      There was only one round of interviewing for this job, but it lasted for about 3 hours total in the morning, which was split up into 3 50-minute interviews. The FIRST INTERVIEW was behavioral, meaning that they asked me questions about what I would do in certain situations, along with what notable projects I had done in the past. The SECOND INTERVIEW was a coding interview, meaning that they asked me some questions about how I would go about programming something. This was a mix of writing actual code on paper and talking about the approaches/data structures/time complexities of an approach. The THIRD INTERVIEW was a business situation interview, which was kind of a common-sense business skills test. They gave me two different hypothetical technologies th at each cost different monthly amounts and different base costs. I had to determine which technology would be cheaper over a given period of time. I got the job offer later that night.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Suppose you had to design a system for an unknown number of customers to ask customer support questions. Customers that contacted customer support earlier should be serviced first. How would you design this system? What data structures would you use?
