Candidatei-me por indicação de um funcionário. O processo levou mais de 1 semana. Fui entrevistado pela Capital One (New York, NY) em set. de 2018
Entrevista
Was referred by a previous boss
Started with a phone call from recruiter explaining culture and job specs.
Then did a phone technical interview with a senior manager I had a great convo with him.
Then a 6 hour in person interview with 1 hour lunch break. I had a behavioral, case interview and 2 technical interviews.
All went well and actually the reason why I’m writing this review is I was getting an offer till they submitted my app and they knew I didn’t have a degree but my 3+ experience made it through all the interview questions and everyone loved me according to the recruiter plus I was a referral.
But they could not give me the offer because of corporate structure. Capital one is a bank but they pride them selves on being more of a tech company. If google and Facebook hire non degree employees why can’t you ?
Long story short I loved everyone that I interviewed with and enjoyed the whole process and was looking forward to joining the team. I’m just very sad that was blocked by old mentality and old corporate bank structure.

Write a method that returns all primes numbers under a number passed in and split it out to an API.
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.

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!
