I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Capital One (New York, NY) in Mar 2024
Interview
Scheduled an initial phone screen. The recruiter called me several days prior to the scheduled day, without warning. Asked if I can reschedule the interview or have the interview now if I am available. For whatever reason I obliged to do it right away. She didn't give any details about the role at all, runs through a checklist of questions already answered on the application, then utterly dismisses me as a QA without allowing me to elaborate on my experience whatsoever. Probably my worst ever experience with a phone screen.
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.
This took a bit longer than expected, stretching over several weeks. The technical rounds were intense, featuring an LRU cache implementation and a problem on detecting duplicate transactions within a 60-second window. I was nervous at first, but it clicked for me when I realized I had practiced a similar approach on PracHub just days before. Unfortunately, I didn’t receive an offer in the end, but the experience was a solid learning opportunity. The behavioral questions felt straightforward, so I wish I had made a stronger impression in the technical segments.
