I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Capital One (Richmond, VA) in Nov 2018
Interview
4 hours of intense conversational interviews. loved it. if you rest well and be your self, you will do great.
Make sure to rest up and eat breakfast before you go. Clear mind is more important then anything
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about your self
many, scenarior based questions, and few technical java and sql
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.
