Capital One Senior Associate, Software Engineer interview questions

The whole hiring process took about a month for me before I received my start date. It took about a week before I was invited to the onsite round at the campus in Plano, TX. The interview process at Capital One was one of the best experience I have had. After discussing my qualifications and what I am looking for at Capital One, my recruiter sent me details of what to expect in the interview process so that I can prepare before hands. There were no tricky questions throughout the whole interview process. I was asked only the questions that verify my knowledge required for day to day tasks. I first received a hackerrank online coding challenge. There were two coding problems consisted of an easy and a medium hackerrank questions. I was given 36 hours to finish the problems, which was way more than enough time. I was invited for an onsite interview the next week. The onsite round consisted of 4 rounds (1 case interview, 1 behavior, and 2 technicals). There were no whiteboard coding questions. The questions asked during all 4 rounds were about how I deal with the job on a daily basis. The format of each round depended on what type of the interview was but they were all catered towards verifying my past experience. They were around debugging, architectural design, Spring and Java 8 features. All technologies I listed on my resume were the main topic of the interview. I feel that Capital One interview process really verifies candidates' qualifications as software engineers. Instead of asking ridiculous coding questions that can be answered if candidates have seen the solutions prior to the interview, Capital One put their mind in the interview process to ensure a candidate can perform on day one. My overall experience was great. I am looking forward to working at Capital One.

The format of the interview (“Power Day”) consisted of two behavioral and two Job-fit interviews. This interview process was one of the most professional I’ve ever experienced. The recruiter was very timely, polite, and helpful throughout the entire process. I was provided with preparatory materials (sample behavioral interview questions) well ahead of my interview date. Also, I was provided with the names of my interviewers and the structure of the entire “Power Day.” The interviewers were very kind but also engaging. I felt as though each behavioral/job-fit interview question was more of a conversation than a quiz. While I answered the behavioral interview questions in S.T.A.R format, I truly enjoyed getting questions along the way. This gave me a chance to share my unique experiences with them and provide the best opportunity for them to get to know me as a candidate. So far my experiences with Capital One have far exceeded my expectations. Everyone that I have interfaced with since interviewing here have been helpful, knowledgeable, and pleasant to work with.
