I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One in Aug 2021
Interview
1. Phone Screen
2. Mandatory coding assessment using CodeSignal with four tasks, 70 mins max
3. Four 1-hour interviews on Zoom with 30 min break in middle:
a) System design
b) Algorithm (count primes)
c) Business case (talk about biz problem, look at some code and determine output, mix things up and repeat)
d) Behavioral
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Design an IoT electric meter system for an apartment building, with dashboard for tenants showing hourly/weekly/monthly readings, and another dashboard for building owner aggregated by floor in the building
Recruiter screening to begin with. Then, technical discussion about java, spring boot, design pattern, small coding tasks and followed by design assessment for distributed systems. Finally, managerial round for the team fit
Scheduled a call with recruiter. Recruiter didnt show up for the screening call and cancelled it 5 mins after the scheduled time. Dropped a follow up email and got no response. After a week, I got an email from the recruiter stating I am selected for the next round i.e Assessment. Sent me an email with the assessment description but no link. When I sent a follow up email asking for the link, I got ghosted again. It was a bad experience. Felt like she is toying with me. Why ghost an applicant repetitively? Unprofessional recruiter who doesn't respect an applicant's time or efforts!
4 rounds of interview including coding , design , case study, behavioral after clearing the code signal assesment. Coding was medium hard of 2 questions each. case study and system design was difficult.
