Pleasant experience. Sometimes, pushing to collect the information I needed was necessary, but communication was excellent, and the process was smooth. They also have a great engineering culture. I'm happy overall.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Regular competency-based questions and behavioral interviews.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (New York, NY) in Nov 2023
Interview
Fair, straightforward interview process. Started off with a phone screen with a recruiter, then a take home coding assessment. After the assessment was the superday, 4 interviews, 3 of which were technical. They included another code assessment, system design, a business focused "case interview", and a behavioral round.
I really appreciated that the coding round wasn't focused on strictly algorithms, or arbitrary data structures, but rather a more realistic scenario you'd have to deal with on the job.
Final round is a talk with the hiring manager for team placement after you're through the superday

How would we build out a credit card portal to:
- support the credit card application process
- view card balance, history
- handle payment processing

Interview
Recruiter reached out to me and discussed a couple positions with me. One of them was a mid level role and the other a senior role. I went with the senior one. She assured me I was qualified for either. I passed the online coding assessment. Then the recruiter was laid off. I was transferred to another recruiter, and this recruiter informed me I didn't meet the basic qualifications for the senior level positions. The mid level role was no longer available. Pretty irritating as I would have went for that role straight away if I'd have known I wasn't qualified for senior.
