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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Design a system that can handle banking transactions (transfers and payments) at scale. Focus on fault-tolerance and strong consistency. How can you make the system highly available.
First, you complete an online coding assessment prior to talking with anyone. Talk with recruiter. Coding interview. Finally, half-day round including coding round, system design, case study, and behavioral interviews.
Not much hard, but very focused and have to solve problems during the interviews. The interviewers were polite and ensure your success. Initial CodeSignal round with coding that need >=50% scoring, followed by 4 in-person rounds which they call it as Power Day. Fast tracked.
