I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Capital One (Vienna, VA) in Apr 2017
Interview
Phone screen, then on-site. 2 behavior, 2 technical. I like the fact that the company puts emphasis on technology. I like the people I met. However, the senior software engineer who interviewed me asked me some ridiculous questions such as "what is servlet concurrency model", "what is jersey concurrency model". I was completely confused. I've never heard of such questions before. He asked me to write a program in go, one sends message, one receives message. I was also confused. I asked him whether he wanted me to write one program or two programs and then he said write in event model. I completely got lost. Does he really understand how channel works in Go? He then asked me about RabbitMQ, He asked me how do you handle transaction in rabbitMQ, I said there's no transaction in rabbitMQ, then he said how do you use JMS with RabbitMQ. I was confused. It's like he really wanted me to use JMS with RabbitMQ. It's obvious he's never used RabbitMQ before. Why would I want to use JMS if I pick RabbitMQ? I was rejected because he gave negative feedback. Some careless people could ruin your chance!
Power day style interview, two coding, one system design, one behavioral. Everyone was nice, but the interviewers seemed a little under prepared and/or new to interviewing in general. Questions where essentially leetcode medium/hard almost word for word.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Leetcode Count primes, looking for optimal solution
Code assessment then to power day interview with 4 rounds. Overall the power day interviews were okay except for the case study. The interviewer was disengage while being on their phone the whole time. There was a part where the interviewer said fix the mistakes then went back to their phone. I pointed out their code has other errors with template and was ignored. Then while attempting to fix those (10 mins later) they mentioned to ignore that part and focus on the very bottom part of the code. What a waste of time and very unprofessional. This makes me wager a few of the interviewers probably could not pass their own interview process today.

Question 1
Code signal 4 questions. Power day is one coding question, system design, case study and behavioral.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Capital One (Ciudad de Mexico) in May 2026

Excelente code challenge después de eso, preparaciones para un powerday q es básicamente 4 entrevistas técnicas en un solo día, es de 1 hora cada uno y al final de dicen si queda o no
