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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1 Case interview - This one's unique. Have some product perspective to evaluate benefits/cons. Be prepared to evaluate logic based questions.
1 Behavioral interview - Pretty generic "Tell me about a time when.."
1 System design - Generic Design XYZ
1 Technical - Leetcode Mediums
Estoy apenas recibiendo la propuesta de agenda para la entrevista, todo de una manera muy respetuosa y con mucha comunicación entre ambas partes, atendiendo cualquier incidencia que pueda darse, ajustes y entendimientos entre los participantes en la entrevista.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Capital One (McLean, VA) in Mar 2026
Interview
Extremely disappointed. TLDR: 2/4 interviewers didn't know their questions and didn't even know Python (it was a Python coding round). They asked to rewrite the code in pseudo code and rewrite it using their logic. Thus, waste of time on 2/3 questions without being able to jump to the next one.
Another interviewer didn't know what a blob storage (s3) is and the the half of our system design round turned into SysDes 101 session where I explained the basics and he tried to show his interest (he didn't even look at the screen).
And at the end the recruited tried to sell me the Senior offer (huge cut). No thanks
