I recently had the opportunity to interview with Capital One for a Senior Software Developer role. While I successfully cleared the first round, I wasn’t able to make it past the second coding round.
The experience, though challenging, was a valuable learning opportunity. The second round focused on algorithmic problem-solving and required a balance of efficiency, clarity, and precision under time pressure. While I felt confident in my approach, I realize there’s always room to improve in terms of optimizing solutions and articulating my thought process more effectively.

Interview
Examen de ingles básico, después haces un test de 70 minutos en el que tienes que resolver cuatro ejercicios de leetcode, dos fáciles y dos medium o hard. Terrible forma de evaluar, si realmente te interesa la posición, hacer trampa es la única manera de sacar scores altos por el poco tiempo que tienes, cosa que en mi caso no hice.
