first of all we had a written test which approximately 60 people gave.
there were 25 questions to be completed in 60 minutes. there were 4-5 aptitude questions and all others were output prediction related questions.
24 students cleared that round. Then we had a paper pen based written in which we had a problem statement in which we had to design an algorithm to decode a passkey( based upon some details). 60 minutes were allocated for it .
12 people cleared it.
after it there was a case study round in which a large problem statement was given about a number of vehicles with different routes and mileage for delivering different packages. we were supposed to provide the way in which we would optimize the profit.
3 people cleared this round.
then there was a hr round in which 2 people were finally selected.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Design an algorithm to decode passkey.(details were provided to form an algorithm based upon the possible combinations ).
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.

Question 1
Design a rate limiter using a token bucket algorithm and discuss how it would handle bursty traffic and distributed deployments.
