I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Capital One (New York, NY) in Sep 2025
Interview
I was referred by a friend. Whole process took a few months. Tech screen was through an automated site called CodeSignal. This was followed by a "Power Day" (4 hrs of interviews): Technical, System Design, Creative Problem Solving, Behavioral.
I passed the interview and was waiting for team-match, which never happened. After a few months, I was notified that they didn't have any open roles and to try again in the Spring.
