I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Capital One
Interview
The process started with a recruiter screen, followed by a take-home test on code signal, then a 4 hour virtual panel. The on-site consisted of a coding round, a behavior round, an architecture round, and a "case" round, which was more like code review.
The on-site was felt more like a proctored test rather than a conversation.
The role I was interviewing for was specifically for Go, but the coding round interviewer didn't appear to know Go, because after I finished coding each part of the problem, would paste "test" code into the editor, but it appeared the syntax was from Python.
The behavioral interviewer told me that I talked too much after spending about 10 minutes answering one of his questions.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to deliver negative feedback to a peer.
I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Jan 2024
Interview
Tedious and extremely time consuming.
Power day is a set of 4 interviews where they assess you. They are ticking off a box for an hour they dont want to work. The interviews were moderate but the hands on technical interview was the one that hurt me. The guy spent the first twenty minutes talking about nonsense stuff he did at a theme park. He was over friendly and eventually was the only one that gave me a negative review even though he wasted majority of the time in something he wanted to talk to someone about. Recruiter was also not so helpful .Took them more than a week to give out a negative result, which was when I reached out as I did not hear back from them for so long.

Question 1
Java questions where they will miss importing a library which will be the point of contention. They want you to know the libraries, type of classes -all of which can be solved by a simple google search but will comment on your ability for their own mistakes in the question presented.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Capital One (San Francisco, CA) in Sep 2022
Interview
First convo starts with the recruiter than I took a 70 minutes online coding exam which includes 4 fairly simple questions. Than you meet with the team, they ask simple questions too.
