I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Mar 2019
Interview
Applied online then contacted by a recruiter after a week, set up a phone interview with a Sr. manager, Software engineer ? I feel like they are just doing the interview for the sake of saying we tried to fill this position with other candidates but probably have someone in the interviewers mind!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
tell me about your current project, technologies you are using, and talk about restful web service, emerging technologies like docker, aws, kafka... . and Ha, very funny question how many lines of code did you write in your project 😀
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.
