Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 2 meses. Fui entrevistado pela Capital One em nov. de 2022
Entrevista
Don't interview here. It was an absolute waste of time. First off, they make you take a 70 min. LIVE PROCTORED exam (w/questions that also have nothing to do with any sort of real-world work, where presumably you cannot Google or open new windows like you would be able to on the job) which is incredibly ridiculous, and not something I've ever had to do interviewing for a company. Somehow I passed that, and had to do a FOUR AND A HALF HOUR onsite. There was a system design question, a ridiculous and incredibly stupid leetcode-style question that is not at all indicative of the actual work being done at Capital One and isn't a good way to determine what someone's actual programming ability is. They then ask you to do a "case study" question, and it isn't clear how pertinent that is to the role of a SOFTWARE DEVELOPER. All this, only to get rejected. Not to mention the interviewers I had were not diverse at all. Almost all were men, almost all of the same background. Probably one of the most ridiculous interviewing experiences I've ever had.

One system design question, behavioral questions, one leetcode-style string processing question, case study question
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.

Design a rate limiter using a token bucket algorithm and discuss how it would handle bursty traffic and distributed deployments.
Recruiter screening to begin with. Then, technical discussion about java, spring boot, design pattern, small coding tasks and followed by design assessment for distributed systems. Finally, managerial round for the team fit
