I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One in June 2022
Interview
First was Recruiter and then coderpad online assessment and if you pass then virtual onsite. The interviews were easy and straightforward except for this coding round on-site with this specific person, who sucked at conducting interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1st Round - Coderpad, 4 Questions 2 easy, 3rd Medium and 4th Hard
Power Day (on-site) - 4 back to back
1st - System Design - Design Smart Meter for a apartment complex.
2nd - Write code and perform some tasks. Very ambiguous and open ended question and no sample provided. You need to implement some functions. She lied to me that I need not get working code. Not the usual type of algorithmic interview that you would expect. At least define the algorithm. There was this rude and weird women who took this interview. She never answered questions that I asked. She told me that there is no right or wrong to this solution. She was a lead of Test Engineering team and did not know how to conduct interviews. She turned off her camera and whenever I asked her any question she would take her own sweet time to turn on the camera and answer back. She also got up and went away from the laptop for a few mins in the middle of the interview. Capital One please make sure that this women does not conduct anymore interviews.
3rd - Case interview on chat bot. See if there are any changes you make, make it better and stuff
4th - Behavioral, normal questions that are expected.
Power day style interview, two coding, one system design, one behavioral. Everyone was nice, but the interviewers seemed a little under prepared and/or new to interviewing in general. Questions where essentially leetcode medium/hard almost word for word.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Leetcode Count primes, looking for optimal solution
Code assessment then to power day interview with 4 rounds. Overall the power day interviews were okay except for the case study. The interviewer was disengage while being on their phone the whole time. There was a part where the interviewer said fix the mistakes then went back to their phone. I pointed out their code has other errors with template and was ignored. Then while attempting to fix those (10 mins later) they mentioned to ignore that part and focus on the very bottom part of the code. What a waste of time and very unprofessional. This makes me wager a few of the interviewers probably could not pass their own interview process today.

Question 1
Code signal 4 questions. Power day is one coding question, system design, case study and behavioral.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Capital One (Ciudad de Mexico) in May 2026

Excelente code challenge después de eso, preparaciones para un powerday q es básicamente 4 entrevistas técnicas en un solo día, es de 1 hora cada uno y al final de dicen si queda o no
