I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Capital One (New York, NY)
Interview
I received an employee referral for a technical role on their team. A recruiter reached out to me a few days later and we had a phone call to discuss the opportunity and team and what I was looking for. I next had a phone call with a team leader; this was more of a conversation about the team (people, projects, etc.) and the position than a technical interview, i.e. I was not asked any technical questions.
After that, I was invited for an on-site interview. I received information ahead of time about who I would be meeting and how to prepare for the interview.
Overall, I heard back on next steps very quickly (within a business day in most cases), and my recruiter was very friendly, professional, and great to work with.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Design a product/system to meet given business requirements and constraints.
4 rounds of interview including coding , design , case study, behavioral after clearing the code signal assesment. Coding was medium hard of 2 questions each. case study and system design was difficult.
This took a bit longer than expected, stretching over several weeks. The technical rounds were intense, featuring an LRU cache implementation and a problem on detecting duplicate transactions within a 60-second window. I was nervous at first, but it clicked for me when I realized I had practiced a similar approach on PracHub just days before. Unfortunately, I didn’t receive an offer in the end, but the experience was a solid learning opportunity. The behavioral questions felt straightforward, so I wish I had made a stronger impression in the technical segments.
