My first call was with the recruiter from CapitalOne. He talked for 50 minutes non-stop about CapitalOne and he was boasting of his own expertise in recruitment and how he can just glance a resume and tell about that person. I think some level of humbleness is must for a recruiter and also must allow the other party to speak.

The process is lengthy and I can appreciate that they're not just Leetcode tech interviews but are designed to better determine skills from the candidate. However, I was applying for a people manager position and was recruited for a backend team, despite my resume clearly identifying my experience on frontend teams in the past. Regardless, I was advised to proceed since I had management experience. I made it through the power day and my feedback was that while my management skills were strong, I lacked experience in the backend systems they were looking at. Understood, I just wish that had been communicated all around in a better way or to have that interview count towards a frontend team as well.
