Clear on what I could expect on the interviews as it was explained by the recruiter.
Compared to other tech companies, I think it is less focused toward coding and ML system design, and more focused on past experiences that align with the JD.
In August 2024, a Capital One recruiter emailed me around 9 PM to schedule a pre-screening interview (which is odd and certainly automated). I replied within an hour and proposed several dates/times.
I didn't receive any response so I followed up 3 times every week. I finally received an email with only this sentence: "let me call you tomorrow at 9:30 est." I replied politely and asked whether the recruiter had my contact information. Of course, no response this time again.
I'm writing this interview experience to increase awareness and share my disappointment with Capital One's recruiting process. I'll definitely reach out to the company about this issue and be happy to provide more details if any Capital One representatives read this review.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One in Apr 2024
Interview
Contacted by a recruiter and then got an online CodeSignal assessment. The questions were easy to medium array and string manipulation. There were 4 questions in 70 minutes.
Solved all of them but have not heard anything yet from the recruiter,
