J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Capital One
Entretien
I only made it to the coding assessment interview.
It was 4 questions on Code Signal, where the first two questions were very easy and the last two very difficult. The time limit was an hour and 10 minutes.
I recommend doing a ton of leetcodes leading up to it, and do all the practice questions on the Code Signal platform. I was only able to make it through half of those questions before the exam, which is why I did well on the first half.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Given a char matrix, and an array of words, find the total number of occurrences for each word in the matrix (the occurrences of each word in the matrix summed together).
NOTE: When finding the word, you can only switch directions once (for each time you search the matrix for that word).
example:
a b c d e
r a c e a
b b s e a
on row two, (lets say the word we are looking for is racecar), we can change directions once (after visiting r, a, c, and e, to get c, a, and r again)
it was easy, standard powerday three rounds. Lots of common questions, and the guides they gave us was helpful. Took long for recruiters to get back to you though. I would recommend really knowing OOP
3 questions + follow ups:
one time you challenged the status quo
one time you worked in a team
one time you learned something new for a project
1: track all purchases for customers (no refunds)
how to track refunds?
how to get top N cashback for certain month
what would you do to scale this to multiple customers not just one (this is theoretical no coding)
