I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Capital One
Interview
First, I completed a one way interview conducted through HireVue, where I recorded responses to preset questions, and then I proceeded to an actual interview with a recruiter, which allowed for a more interactive conversation about my experience, skills, and overall fit for the role.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Mar 2026
Interview
Extremely disappointed. TLDR: 2/4 interviewers didn't know their questions and didn't even know Python (it was a Python coding round). They asked to rewrite the code in pseudo code and rewrite it using their logic. Thus, waste of time on 2/3 questions without being able to jump to the next one.
Another interviewer didn't know what a blob storage (s3) is and the the half of our system design round turned into SysDes 101 session where I explained the basics and he tried to show his interest (he didn't even look at the screen).
And at the end the recruited tried to sell me the Senior offer (huge cut). No thanks
