I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One in Nov 2022
Interview
Two step process. Coding assessment and then a power day of four 1hr interviews back to back. The power day consisted of two technical coding interviews, a behavioral interview, and a case interview. Process was straightforward and easy to work through.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given software architecture problems and discuss best ways to solve. Why you would choose one solution over another
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.
