J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Capital One (Toronto, ON) en oct. 2022
Entretien
I received a coding assignment by email which needs to be handed in to get interviews. The question was not very trivial, and the review focused on how the code was structured and whether it was clear and documented. For the actual interview, I needed to describe my code in fine details and answer questions. No LC hards.

Question 1
Tell me a situation when you need to go an extra mile.
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.
