J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Capital One
Entretien
OA initially through CodeSignal and power day which has a technical portion, case study, and behavioural.
Overall the process was fairly simple but exhausting. Power day is 4 hours long which felt unnecessary considering overlapping questions across the interviews. However, recruiter and interviewers were very nice and efficient

J'ai passé un entretien chez Capital One (McLean, VA)
Entretien
Interviewed for an engineer position, the interview was a joke. Asked basic OOP question with a few follow ups - no system design portion. Interviewer was very laid back and chill, didn't take it to seriously.
Was not too difficult. three total interviews all on the same day back to back. technical one, behavioral one and a case which was more of just a debugging question
Expecting a challenging experience, I found the interview at Capital One to be intense, particularly during the system design section. The question on designing a rate limiter with a token bucket algorithm took me by surprise; mid-way through the problem, I realized it was very similar to a drill I’d practiced on prachub.com just days earlier. The technical rounds included several DSA questions, and the interviewers were thorough but supportive. Ultimately, I received an offer and happily accepted, feeling well-prepared despite the pressure.
