Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 5 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Capital One (New York, NY) em abr. de 2021
Entrevista
Very smooth and straight forward.
Initial call with Recruiter.
Coding exam - 70 min - 4 problems. I completed 3 problems but got selected because expectation from my role is not to code daily anyway. Regardless 4 problems in 70 min is a bit stretch.
Later 5 interviews - Virtual Onsite.
2 Behavior rounds. - Very straightforward questions but quite a few follow up questions. So your answers must be genuine else the interviewer can easily tell that you are making things up.
2 Tech rounds - 1 Sys design - check other posts. Similar question. The other round is coding + sys design. I coded the given problem in less than 15 min, so we had time left and had an impromptu Sys design round. The interviewer was brilliant and we had an awesome discussion over an app that I use pretty much everyday. Really enjoyed this round.
1 Case interview - more of a debugging the code round. I prepared a lot for this round as there was no material over the internet on what to prepare. However, it turns out it is a debugging round. A very very simple problem that needs to be debugged and solution has to be written out.
Overall, brilliant set of people. Really enjoyed the process.

Entrevista
Recruiter screen, hiring manager interview, power day interviews (2 behavioral, 1 system design, 1 coding, 1 case interview)
Red flag 1 - The titles at Capital One are inflated. Senior Engineering Manager role is more toward coding and being hands-on within a small team. No scope for managing multiple teams, mentoring, setting strategic vision and technology roadmap.
Red flag 2 - Cookie cutter interview templates which does not assess your skill sets.
Red flag 3 - Coding interview was set-up for failure, the assessment tool did not have IntelliSense, not allowed to check for syntax online while sharing screen. I did not understand the interviewer's logic to expect candidate to remember syntax and how it correlated to the candidate's abilities/skills. The problem was copy pasted on the solution file itself rather than presenting that as a separate panel. I had trouble scrolling back and forth.
