I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Nov 2018
Interview
I arrived on site and they gave a tour of the building and I ate lunch in a group of about 15 applicants and 4 employees. I then have three interviews. A behavioral, job fit (technical), and case interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time where you taught a technical concept to a person with little or no knowledge of the field.
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.
