I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Jul 2025
Interview
The interview process was intense. First you have to pass an online CodeSignal assessment. When I took the assessment I had to get 2/4 of the questions correct to being invited to a face-to-face interview. From there the actual interview day was split into 4 virtual interviews. A coding assessment, a system design assessment, a case study and a behavioral interview. The coding assessment and system design assessment were both to design a banking application while the case study was to analyze cloud computing performance and fix a section of code. Overall I would rate the technical difficulty of the interview questions as easy to average. The behavioral interview was in the STAR format and the interviewer asked questions on how I have previously handled conflict in the workplace. I left the interview process feeling confident about my odds but got a rejection email the following workday. Unfortunately Capital One has a policy where they don't offer feedback into why you were rejected. I would rate my experience as positive because all of my interviewers were very respectful however I am left feeling a little frustrated since I invested all this time into the interview process with nothing to show for it.

Question 1
Design a banking application that can create an account, make deposits and withdrawal funds.
A recruiter reached out to me, and then I was sent an HackerRank assessment. This assessment requires a photo id and for you to be on camera the whole time. I am not a fan of these because it's really limiting if you don't enjoy HackerRank as a platform.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One in Jul 2025
Interview
Started with an online assessment, recruiter call, hiring manager, and then power day. The questions and format are the same as the other reviews on here. My interviewer during my system design interview had a heavy accent and I had a hard time understanding them, which led to frustrations on both ends.
My interviewer during my case study was clearly focusing on something else while I was working on it. He also provided zero feedback during, which felt off-putting.
