Candidatei-me por meio de recrutador(a). O processo levou 4 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Capital One em out. de 2022
Entrevista
Recruiter reached out to me via LinkedIn. Quick conversation with him over the phone and then 4 code signal question ( leetcode easy and medium) Then there comes a power day which has 4 sections: design, coding, behavioral and case Design: my interview was supposed to start at 9:00 am, the interviewer did not even show up until 9:08, then he joins over the phone, no apologies, I could not hear anything (I had tested my system over zoom and mine was working fine), he asked me to restart my system twice via chat though the issue was in his system. Then he just starts the problem statement over the phone without any introduction and apologies/introduction . Problem: design banking system with authentication and authorization and It will have 4 different account types: checking, saving, mortgage and auto loan. Have a 1. transfer feature where you can transfer from checking to saving and vice versa 2. Transfer to external like Zelle 3. Transaction history Initially he said design a component diagram in code signal (which was a bit difficult for me to find symbols) then while I was doing, he changed it to do the DB schema, while I was doing DB schema, I was running out of time so I asked him if I could jump back to components and now he changes to tech stack for each components. I was explaining but I already ran out of time and second interviewer (coding section) joined the call Coding: It was an easy problem. Find those two numbers in an array whose sum is closest to 0. I had never checked Glassdoor before the interview but looks like this was their favorite question. I gave the solution within 15 min using 2 pointer approach. Interviewer now changed it to find whose closest sum is 5. That was an easy tweak, just updated the existing logic in another 1-2 min. I had 25 m in left so discussed about their culture, expectations etc Behavioral: Easy straightforward 3 questions like tell me about a situation type Case: It was an easy release cycle related case and fix the existing code which was giving wrong output. Overall it went fine for me except design which I could have done better if I had sufficient time. Later got the email from recruiter saying I had great communication and coachable skills but lacked coding (really?) and design skills

First had to pass an OA on codesignal.
Recruiter then scheduled a Power Day interview virtually:
1 Case interview -
1 Behavioral interview -
1 System design -
1 Technical
Questions are pretty standard and not too diffucult. Interviewers were friendly.

Entrevista
I applied in February. Took an online technical assessment that comprised of four leetcode like problems. I wasn't able to finish them all, but somehow managed to pass. Some Capital One recruiter reached out to me, but for a different position. She told me that I passed the test. Okay that's nice, but what's next? Four months later and now in June, suddenly I have a Capitol One recruiter reach out to me about the position I applied to. She wants to schedule a Power Day interview with me.
The Power Day interview consists of a technical coding challenge, system design, behavioral, and a case study, four hours in total. Recruiter arranged a call with me to discuss what I should do to prepare; it's like you're basically studying for a final exam except you haven't spent a semester learning the material and need to spend a or two trying to study or learn system design especially if you have never done it like me.
On the actual Power Day, two of the interviewers seem nice and were more conversational. The other two technical interviewers feel like they were making jabs at my technical ability so I knew then that I wouldn't be getting the job.
Nevertheless, a few days after the interview. My recruiter reached out and asked me when was a good time to talk about the results. She called me and told me I did not pass and if I wanted to, I could try again in six months for other Capital One jobs.
Okay? Why didn't you just email this rejection notice instead of needing to tell about this through a call? Capital One thinks they're a FAANG company with the way they're conducting their interviews, but the salary you can potentially earn is nowhere near the FAANG companies.
